Date: February 2019
Position: Interim Chief Executive Officer

SuperConcepts, AMP's self-managed super fund (SMSF) business, has appointed Adrian Urquhart as interim CEO, effective 1 February 2019, following the announcement late last year that Natasha Fenech is departing the firm.

Urquhart, who has over 20 years' experience across law, finance and financial services, was most recently SuperConcepts' chief financial officer and general manager of product.

Commenting on his appointment, Richard Grellman, SuperConcepts chair, said: "Adrian is a strong and capable internal candidate with an intimate knowledge of the services having fulfilled several executive roles within the SuperConcepts Group since 2012."

He added: "This [appointment] gives us the stability and continuity our customers expect while we conduct a thorough search to ensure we have the best leadership for SuperConcepts."

In welcoming Urquhart, Fenech said: "Adrian is an outstanding executive leader and stakeholders who have worked with him over the years can take comfort in the decision to have him at the helm of the leadership team going forward."

Following a transition period with Urquhart, Fenech will "commence a new role in the insurance industry", effective 28 February 2019, the firm said.
