IFM Investors has appointed Carla de Campo to the newly created role of director of government relations.

de Campo joins from Cbus Super, where she served as head of public affairs for almost six years.

"We also invest on behalf of superannuation and pension funds that collectively represent more than 120 million members globally. With this footprint and responsibility, we recognise that working closely with our government partners is imperative for our business."
