David Anderson was selected to be the next chief executive officer at the Australia Retirement Trust, Brisbane, the A$260 billion ($170.9 billion) superannuation fund said in a statement on Dec. 13.
He will commence his duties in March after the current CEO Bernard Reilly leaves the fund at the end of February. The fund announced Reilly's departure earlier in September.
Anderson has over three decades of experience in insurance and financial services. He spent the past 25 years with global consulting firm Mercer, where he is chief commercial officer based in London.
He will return to Australia for the new role and be based in Brisbane.
A Mercer spokesperson did not immediately respond to queries about his replacement as global chief commercial officer.
