AIST restructures policy team
The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has appointed David Haynes as executive manager and Karen Volpato as senior policy adviser as part of a policy department restructure.
Haynes has been a project director at AIST since 2010 and has also worked for Industry Fund Services and AUSfund.
Volpato has been a long-standing member of AIST's policy committee. She most recently left her post as marketing manager at First State Super, having previously been executive manager at Retirement Benefits Fund.
AIST chief executive Tom Garcia said key objectives for its policy team this year were to help funds implement Stronger Super reforms, and to continue industry discussions on adequacy, post-retirement and the superannuation system's sustainability.
"David's passion, knowledge and grasp of super policy are highly regarded by all who have worked with him over the years," Garcia said.
"Similarly, Ms Volpato's expertise in policy, research and marketing will be an invaluable addition to AIST."
Volpato gave up her position in AIST/Women in Super's Super Springboard Program to BNP Paribas' Cathy Doyle in order to accept the appointment.
