GM Super to retire from Rest

Rest has confirmed to Industry Moves the retirement of Edward Salloum from the role of general manager, superannuation & retirement solutions, effective end of August 2019.

Salloum joined the now-$57 billion super fund in December 2015 as senior manager, corporate super products. He was promoted to head of product in May 2017 and to his current role in April 2019.

Commenting on his service to the fund, Brendan Daly, group executive of product and operations, said: "Ed has been a very valuable part of Rest team during the past four years, providing great leadership and expertise.

"Most recently, he led the fund's successful response to the Protecting Your Super package which led to tens of thousands of impacted members opting to retain their insurance.

"He can be rightly proud of his contribution to the industry, and we wish him all the best in retirement."

The fund has commenced a recruitment process to find Salloum's successor.
