Equip hires for expected expansion in corporate super

Equip has appointed Charlie Yanni as a senior corporate growth manager within the $15 billion super fund's growth and corporate development team.

In announcing the appointment, Equip's executive officer for growth and corporate development, John Farrington, said Equip was anticipating the potential for more movement in the corporate superannuation sector following the revelations emerging from the royal commission.

"There is no doubt that some in corporate Australia are thinking about whether their employees' super is in the right hands, with what we have heard over the past fortnight," Farrington said.

"Charlie Yanni [has] brought years of experience in financial services to the team and [given] Equip the extra capacity to extend its reach and compete even more effectively in the corporate superannuation market."

Yanni's previous experience includes business development roles with industry funds, LUCRF and REST, and with ME Bank.
