Aware Super appoints Christine McLoughlin AM as new Chair
Christine McLoughlin AM has been appointed the new Chair of Aware Super.
McLoughlin, who is also the Chairman of the Suncorp Group and a Director of Cochlear Limited, has over 25 years of experience in the financial services sector as both an executive and non-executive director. She officially starts at the fund on 1 October 2024.
Aware Super’s Chair of Governance and Nominations Committee Patricia Faulkner AO confirmed McLoughlin’s appointment followed a process conducted by an independent search firm to identify candidates with financial services, regulatory and governance experience.
Aware Super CEO Deanne Stewart said the Fund would benefit from Ms McLoughlin’s experience in the insurance industry, where corporations have rapidly evolved to meet the changing needs of their customers at key life moments.
“Aware Super is fortunate it will have the benefit of Christine’s strategic and governance experience in large, complex and heavily regulated sectors, combined with her international business background and aligned values” she said.
McLoughlin succeeds former Chair Sam Mostyn AC who stepped down in April when she was appointed Australia’s 28th Governor General.
