The two appointments bring significant skills and experience in digital transformation, technology and financial services to the board, relevant to building AMP’s Banking and Wealth Management businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

AMP also announced Kate McKenzie will step down from her role as a Non-executive director, effective 31 December 2023. Ms McKenzie will conclude her roles on both the AMP Limited and AMP Bank boards after three years of service.

Ms McKenzie, who was appointed in November 2020, will step down to focus on her roles as Chair of NBN Co., interim Chair of Healius Ltd and Non-Executive Director on the Stockland Corporation board.

AMP Chair Debra Hazelton commented: “I would like to sincerely thank Kate for the invaluable experience, insight and governance she has brought to the board. Her commitment and passion for the business over the past 3 years has been instrumental to the ongoing transformation of AMP.

“I am also delighted to welcome Kathleen and Anna to the Board. We have sought to continue to build on the skills of the board to develop in the areas of technology and customer-focused transformation which are critical to AMP’s success into the future.

“Both Kathleen and Anna will complement the existing skills of the board as AMP embarks on the next phase of its strategy, building its Banking and Wealth Management businesses in Australia and New Zealand.”

Several changes to the executive leadership team, including three newly created roles, will help to promote organisation-wide strategic alignment in how the business delivers great value to members through competitive returns, low fees and excellent service.

Commenting on the changes, CEO Kevin O’Sullivan said: “Given the abundance of change occurring within both the super and the higher education sectors, our new structure will better enable UniSuper to deliver the best possible retirement outcomes for our members. Our members’ best interests are at the heart of everything we do and this has been the key driver for making these changes”.

Anna Leibel, who has been leading the fund’s technology division since March 2017, has been appointed to a new role, Chief Technology & Delivery Officer, which will bring together an end-to-end back office function incorporating technology, program management and fund operations.

The roles of Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for fund strategy, product and marketing, and Chief Operating Officer, responsible for risk and governance, legal and finance have also been created and the fund is in the process of recruiting for these positions. Chief Investment Officer John Pearce remains in his role, as do Julie Watkins (People), Jack McCartney (Advice), and Lee Scales (Chief Customer Officer).

Tim Anderson, Executive Manager – Marketing & Product and Nick Drohan, Executive Manager – Program Management will be departing the fund in May.

“Tim and Nick have made exceptional contributions to the fund’s enviable position. I am enormously grateful for Tim’s work over the last eight years building our strong brand, award-winning product suite and digital strategy. And Nick has been instrumental in transforming the way we govern and manage our busy and complex project pipeline. I wish Tim and Nick all the best for the future and thank them for their significant support and contribution to our success,” said Kevin.

The new structure becomes effective during May.
