Rest names new finance chief

Rest Super has welcomed John O'Sullivan as its new chief financial officer.

O'Sullivan, who will lead Rest's finance and investment operations team, replaces Kulwant Singh-Pangly, who took a job with Queensland Treasury Corporation as operating chief in September.

Reporting to reporting into chief executive Vicki Doyle, he will also join the superannuation fund's executive leadership team.

The incoming finance chief - who joins Rest after 15 years at Ernst & Young - has worked closely with Rest over the past five years as a consultant.

He recently stepped in to lead the finance and investment operations team during the recruitment process for the fund's new chief financial officer.

"John's deep experience and knowledge is a welcome contribution to Rest as we continue to focus on delivering the best possible retirement outcomes for our nearly two million members," Doyle said.

"I'm extremely pleased that John is bringing his wide industry experience and skill to Rest as we embark on the next phase of our mission to make the experience super simple for our members."

For his part, O'Sullivan said: "Regardless of background or balance, everyone is entitled to a fair and equitable superannuation system. I look forward to contributing to members' positive outcomes through my leadership of the finance and investment operations function at Rest."
