Former Institute of Actuaries chief executive, Melinda Howes has been appointed to a lead superannuation role within BT Financial Group.  

The company announced today that Howes, who has also held a senior policy position within the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) had been appointed as General Manager of Superannuation.  

Howes has been lured back to BT from AMP where she was most recently Director, Product, Strategy and Services.  

Confirming Howes appointment, BT Financial Group chief executive, Brad Cooper signalled the company’s focus on growing its MySuper member base.  

He said having Westpac bank customers switch their MySuper superannuation account to BT was a priority and that Howes expertise would be central to having BT’s offering recognised as one of the best in Australia.
