CareSuper CRO departs

After ten years at CareSuper, Belinda Ray has resigned as chief risk officer to join Australian Super as head of internal audit.

CareSuper chief executive Julie Lander thanked Ray for her significant contribution to CareSuper over the last ten years, including as a key member of the executive team and leading the fund's risk, compliance, and governance frameworks, practices, and culture.

"Belinda is a true professional and will be sorely missed," Lander added.

Before joining CareSuper, Ray was a principal at Towers Watson for almost nine years and an audit manager at EY for six years before that.

Between 2007 and 2009, she was chair of the Victorian committee for Women in Super.

Christine Nguyen, currently head of risk at the $20 billion superannuation fund, has been installed as acting chief risk officer during the search for Ray's replacement.

Nguyen joined CareSuper in October 2021 from Aware Super where she oversaw the enterprise risk management function.

In January 2019, she joined VicSuper as a risk manager ahead of the merger with First State Super to create Aware Super.

Nguyen has held several other risk-related roles including at Mercer, IAG, AIA, and PwC.

CareSuper recently appointed Cindy Ponder-Budd head of investment strategy and Claire Molinari head of ESG.
