UniSuper has announced the appointment of Anand Thomas as chief strategy and marketing officer to lead the fund’s marketing, strategy, product and digital functions.
The appointment comes after the fund undertook a review of its organisational structure in April to ensure it remained in position to respond to the changing competitive landscape and regulatory environment.
He would work closely with Kevin O’Sullivan, chief executive officer (CEO), to develop and drive the strategy of the fund, which represented the higher education and research sector.
Thomas joined from MLC Life Insurance where he had a lead role in the demerger from NAB.
Other previous roles included strategy development, digital, customer experience, marketing, and large-scale program management for Citicorp, ANZ, NAB, OCBC Bank and MLC.
