CareSuper names new CEO

Michael Dundon, the former chief executive of VicSuper will take the helm of CareSuper replacing Julie Lander.

Dundon headed the Victorian superannuation fund for close to a decade before its merger with Aware Super.

On completion of the tie-up, he stayed on at the fund as an executive consultant looking at other prospective mergers.

Dundon previously served as chief executive of ESSSuper after being promoted from the role of finance chief.

He joined the fund as CFO in 2008.

Before working at ESSSuper, Dundon was a senior finance executive with experience in banking, funds management, life insurance, consumer lending and utility organisations in Australia and South East Asia.
CareSuper chair Linda Scott said it was pleasing to welcome someone of Dundon's calibre to lead the fund into its next phase.

"CareSuper welcomes Michael at an exciting time for our award-winning fund," she said

"As a proven superannuation leader, our members will benefit from his work to continue to grow CareSuper to be a leading challenger fund to the mega funds, offering Australians a diversity of fund sizes in the national interest.

Scott added that Lander had been a tremendous leader of CareSuper for over two decades and had overseen significant growth in the fund.

"She embodies our values and our commitment to members and has made a substantial contribution to the superannuation sector more broadly,' she added.
Scott also acknowledged Lander's legacy.

"We are truly grateful to have had such a remarkable and inspiring leader, and we look forward to recognising her enormous contribution to CareSuper over the coming months."

Lander, named FEAL's 2022 Executive of the Year, will depart once Dundon joins next March.
