HESTA has been continuing enhancing its leadership growth team with an appointment of Tim Mitchell-Adams to a newly created role of chief growth officer.
The move followed earlier announcement made in July of Joe Agius having joined as general manager new business and growth enablement.
Also, Mitchell-Adams would be joining the leadership team at the time of the implementation of a new three-year strategy for the fund.
Mitchell-Adams, who joined the fund in late August, had a career spanning across a number of sectors, including wealth management/ financial services, intermediated distribution, not-for-profit, start-up and education.
In a 30-year career across the financial services sector, Mitchell-Adams held a range of senior leadership positions including that of AXA/AMP member firms managing director. Prior to the AXA/AMP merger, he spent well over a decade at AXA Australia, performing across various roles, including that of general manager of sales.
Additionally, he brought in experience covering several charitable organisations and he is also experienced in providing consulting support to a UK-based start-up sustainability fintech.
During this period, he helped develop organisational capability, delivering new business growth, financial rigor, human resource support and chief executive counsel, the firm said.
“I’m very excited to join HESTA at a time of exciting growth and development that will continue to enhance the value we can create for our members,” Mitchell-Adams said.
“HESTA members throughout their working lives make such a difference to so many in our community and I look forward to helping contribute to improving their financial futures.”
