New CEO for Christian Super

Christian Super has announced the appointment of Ross Piper as its new CEO, effective early 2018.

Piper has over 25 years' experience in leadership and management roles across the finance and not-for profit sectors and is currently the chief operating officer of World Vision Australia.

His previous roles also include head of corporate risk at Macquarie Group and senior director of operations, Middle East and Eastern Europe at World Vision International, where he was closely engaged with a number of peer microfinance programs.

Commenting on his appointment at Christian Super, chair, Neville Cox, said: "Ross brings a wealth of strategic and operational experience across multiple sectors. His expertise and skills will be invaluable to Christian Super as we continue to grow. It is with great pleasure that the Board looks forward to his leadership as Christian Super continues to pursue its vision."

Piper added: "Christian Super has a long track record of operating with clear purpose and intentional impact within the superannuation space. I'm looking forward to joining the team and leading Christian Super as it continues to grow strategically, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to join an organisation demonstrating purpose and impact in its industry."

Piper will replace former CEO Peter Murphy, who left the role in April this year. Christian Super's CIO, Tim Macready, has been acting in the role of CEO since Murphy's departure.
