NESS Super appoints industry veteran as CEO

NESS Super has appointed Paul Cahill as its chief executive officer, effective early 2018.

Cahill will replace former CEO, Angie Mastrippolito, who left the $700 million industry fund this month to take on the role of chief operating officer with NGS Super.

Most recently, Cahill worked with Concept One as CEO to help implement the board's decision to merge with WA Super. Prior to this he was CEO at Club Plus Super, a role he left in January this year after 10 years. Previously, he spent 16 years as the CEO of the Australian Meat Industry Superannuation Trust (AMIST).

Commenting on Cahill's appointment. NESS Super chair, Tony Glossop, said: "After going through an exhaustive process where there were some remarkable candidates, we could not go past Paul's vast experience in the superannuation sector. Whilst we have been saddened by the departure of Angie, we are delighted to have such a capable person in Paul to lead the Fund into the future."

Cahill added: "I am excited to work with a Fund such as NESS Super where there are wonderful opportunities for the future. I am looking forward to developing the fund to ensure that NESS Super is a success now and into the future."
