John McMurtrie has announced he will be retiring as managing director of major superannuation funds administrator, Link Group, exiting the business next year.
His replacement is QBE executive, Vivek Bhatia.
McMurtrie is regarded as a significant loss to the company, having led it for over more than two decades building it into one of the largest superannuation funds administrators in Australia on top of its origins as a registry business.
McMurtrie said he would be working with Bhatia for a seamless transition before leaving next year.
