Active Super adds board member

Active Super has added Nathan Hagarty to the board as an employer-nominated director effective next month.

Hagarty will fill the board seat left vacant by Domenico Figliomeni whose four-year term has finished.

Under the nomination process, Hagarty will be joining Active Super as one of three representatives of local government NSW.

Active Super chair Kyle Loades said Hagarty's strategic mindset and commercial acumen - from working in the IT sector - are complemented by his experience working in local and federal government.

"Active Super has a proud heritage of working closely with local government and local communities, and Nathan's appointment further enhances that history given his work at the grassroots level," he said.

"He has an understanding and compassion for the local communities in which we operate by engaging with the migrant communities of western Sydney."

Loades paid tribute to Figliomeni who chaired the governance, remuneration, and nomination committee during a period of significant governance and regulatory change.

He noted that Figliomeni also served on the investment committee as well as on the boards of associated companies LIF and Local Government Financial Services.

"With his solid background as a CEO, Dom's strengths lay in his finance and operational experience, strategy and business planning skills, and his understanding of conflict and crisis management," he added.

"Dom also made a tremendous contribution during his tenure on the Investment Committee where he was able to leverage his broad knowledge and experience when it came to investment matters."

Hagarty is a councilor of Liverpool City Council, chair of the Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre, and director of Settlement Services International.

He also works as the chief of staff for Anne Stanley, the federal member for Werriwa.

Hagarty is the second employer nominee to the Active Super Board this year following the appointment of Declan Clausen in March.
