Louise Du Pre-Alba takes new policy role at AustralianSuper
Louise Du Pre-Alba will depart her current role as director of policy at the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) to join AustralianSuper in the newly created role of head of policy, starting in August.
Du Pre-Alba had been at ASFA for around nine months after leaving her previous role as senior executive leader for super funds at the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
She resigned following the conclusion of the Stronger Super consultation period, ASFA stated, with the association now on the hunt for a new senior policy specialist.
AustralianSuper said it is increasing its focus on public policy development, with the new role to involve research, analysis and recommendations relating to the strategic implications of current and potential superannuation and other relevant public policy developments.
