Qantas Super has announced the appointment of John Atkin as a company-appointed board director, effective March 2019.

Atkin, who has 37 years' experience across legal and corporate governance roles, was previously CEO of The Trust Company Limited and Blake Dawson, and has served on the boards of ASX listed companies, APRA regulated companies, and not for profits, the fund said. In November 2018, he was elected chair of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Atkin and fellow new company-appointed board director, Lorraine Berends, will fill the vacancies left by long-serving chair, Anne Ward, and former director, Paul Costello.

In welcoming both new directors, Qantas Super chief executive officer, Michael Clancy, said: "We're thrilled to have candidates of such high calibre and look forward to John and Lorraine helping our members feel confident in their financial future so they can enjoy retirement."
