HESTA shuffles general managers, promotes digital GM

HESTA has appointed Katrina Waghorne as their new general manager for digital. She replaces Callum Tod, who has become the GM of brand and acquisition for the industry fund.

Waghorne joined HESTA in late 2018 from Link Group where she spent nearly two decades in a variety of project roles. Link Group is responsible for HESTA's administration.

In her new role, Waghorne will be responsible for leading the fund's digital team and improving the fund's digital services.

Waghorne will report to HESTA COO Stephen Reilly. "Digital innovation and the seamless integration of technology platforms is key to ensuring we are continually enhancing the experience of our members and employers. Katrina brings deep superannuation knowledge and an intrinsic understanding of the technology that drives personalised experiences that are so vital to how we support HESTA members to achieve a better financial future."

"It's an exciting time to be in Digital!" said Waghorne. "The last few months have accelerated the trend to digital reliance across the globe and I'm so pleased to have the opportunity to focus my attention in a space that really matters for our members."
