Evans to retire from Rest

Trevor Evans, the group exec for people, finance, and change with industry super fund Rest is set to retire later this year.

Evans has been with the fund for more than seven years, beginning as a GM of people and culture in 2014. He joined the group executive team in 2018.

Before his time with Rest, Evans held HR and staffing roles at Suncorp, ING Australia, Tourism Australia, and the NSW Department of Commerce.

Rest is splitting Evans' role into two, appointing Amy Murrell as general manager of people and culture. They are presently recruiting a chief financial officer to lead the finance group.

In comments to Financial Standard, Rest chief Vicki Doyle said, "Trevor has been a much-valued part of the Rest team since he joined in 2014 and has been instrumental in recent years as we aligned the fund to a new strategic direction, continued to build internal capability and established new cultural values."
