SuperConcepts names former ATO deputy commissioner as new chair

Former ATO deputy commissioner and experienced director, Stuart Forsyth, has been named the new independent chair for SuperConcepts.

Forsyth joined the SuperConcepts board in late 2015.

CEO Lara Bourguignon said that Forsyth's SMSF experience is a good fit with the company's simplified operating model. "Stuart has served on our Board as an independent member for more than four years and has extensive SMSF experience from his previous role as Assistant Deputy Commissioner Superannuation and, more recently, the non-executive director of SuperIQ Pty Ltd.

"With his unique background across the industry, he brings a broad skill set spanning large organisational experience, Government, consulting knowledge and high-level technical skills that our Board and Leadership Team can continue to leverage for the benefit of our clients," Bourguignon said.

Forsyth, who is a registered tax agent and superannuation consultant, said that he is honoured to step into the chair position. "It is a time of great change in the SMSF market and SuperConcepts is primed to lead those changes with our Innovation Lab, which is making impressive strides with Artificial Intelligence to improve outcomes for our clients.

"SuperConcepts is positioned to continue its leadership role across the SMSF sector with advances in technology development, leading administration products, and the largest technical education team in the country," Forsyth said.
