Date: March 2020
Position: Chief Executive Officer

Media Super has named their chief operating officer, Tony Griffin, as acting chief executive officer following the announcement that Graeme Russell will retire in July.

Griffin joined Media Super in April of 2019. He was previously the chief operating officer for Local Government Super from 2011-2018. Before that, he held finance and asset management roles at FuturePlus Financial Services and Apostle Asset Management and has experience with KPMG.

In late 2019, during Russell's extended absence due to illness, Griffen stepped into an acting CEO capacity. That's something that will help smooth the transition, says Media Super chair Gerard Noonen. "It will be a smooth transition as Tony and Graeme have worked together closely and will continue to do so until July of this year," Noonan said.

Rainmaker research shows, as at the end of December 2019, Media Super's FUM was $6.3 billion for more than 74,000 members.
