Executive Manager, Program Management departs UniSuper

UniSuper has announced several changes to the fund's executive leadership team, including the departure of executive manager, program management, Nicholas Drohan.

Drohan joined the $70 billion fund in July 2016 as head of special projects before being appointed to his executive role in December of that year. He has been responsible for the management and execution of the fund's portfolio of technology and business change projects.

Also leaving UniSuper is executive manager, marketing & product, Tim Anderson.

Commenting on the departees, CEO Kevin O'Sullivan said that "Tim and Nick have made exceptional contributions to the fund's enviable position" and that he wishes them "all the best for the future".

He added that Drohan has "been instrumental in transforming the way [the fund governs and manages its] busy and complex project pipeline."

In other changes, Anna Leibel, who has been leading the fund's technology division since March 2017, has been appointed to the newly-created role of chief technology & delivery officer. The fund is also recruiting for the newly-created roles of chief commercial officer and chief operating officer.

The new structure, which the fund said is in response to "the abundance of change occurring within both the super and the higher education sectors", becomes effective during May 2019.
