Leeanne Turner named CEO for MTAA Super
MTAA Super has announced the appointment of Leeanne Turner as the fund's new chief executive officer.
Turner has 25 years of experience within the superannuation industry, and spent four years as MTAA deputy CEO. Prior to her time at MTAA, she was the CEO of AvSuper.
MTAA Chairman John Brumby said Leeanne was a "highly skilled administrator" who had won the "deep respect of her colleagues and industry peers".
"Leeanne's appointment reflects her skills and track record within the superannuation industry. This includes sound business and administrative acumen, expertise in managing compliance issues and strong communication skills," Brumby said.
Brumby also announced the three new appointments to the MTAA board. Vicki Allen and Susanne Dahn have been appointed as independent members of the board, and Philip Perdikaris joins the board as an employer representative.
Allen has over 25 years of experience in financial services and the property sector, and was most recently chief operating officer of The Trust.
Dahn has spent 15 years as a non-executive director on three superannuation boards: Victorian Emergency Services, State Super, and the Australian Government Employees Superannuation Trust.
Perdikaris has extensive experience in the automotive industry and is currently chief executive of MTA Apprentice Plus.
Brumby said the appointments were built on a set of reforms announced by the $6 billion fund earlier this year.
"This includes restructuring the board, publishing the remuneration of directors and the top five executives by bands, and providing the full audited accounts of MTAA Super on the fund's website," Brumby said.
