UniSuper, the $108 billion superannuation fund, has hired Andrew Gregory as head of financial advice and education.

In this role, he will be responsible for education, guidance and advice to drive member engagement across UniSuper's 500,000 members.

Andrew comes to UniSuper with an extensive background in financial services having held senior roles in both large and boutique financial advice, banking and wealth businesses.

His recent roles include the chief executive of Arrow Private Wealth, general manager of MLC Advice, where he led National Australia Bank's national employed advice network and general Manager of NAB's regional retail banking network in Victoria and Tasmania.

He is a non-executive director of the Youth Insearch Foundation and recently retired after nine years as a non-executive director at Peoplecare Health, a national not-for-profit insurer.

Gregory and his team will be focussed on uplifting UniSuper's advice offering and exploring the provision of cost-effective digital advice to assist more members in retirement.

"Financial advice is one of the most important investments an Australian can make in their future," he said.

"Taking the time to seek advice today can transform your future. That's why UniSuper is such an exciting fund to be part of, with its advice offering central to its long-term strategy.

"I'm delighted to join a team that prioritises access to affordable, accessible and high-quality advice for all UniSuper members - and I'm looking forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to help deliver retirement outcomes for members."
