Industry super fund, Vision Super, has announced the appointment of James Milne to the newly-created role of head of technology, effective September 2017.

In this role, Milne leads the Vision Super technology team responsible for the digital experience of members.

Milne, who joins from KPMG, has over 30 years' experience in IT. Separate to his industry related experience, he also owns an independent record label, a bookshop and is the proprietor of the Melbourne live music landmark, The Tote Hotel.

Commenting on his appointment at Vision Super, CEO, Stephen Rowe, said: "James doesn't just have a typical IT background, and he doesn't come from the super industry - he has an interesting breadth of experience that brings a new perspective to the fund, and a community background that meshes really well with Vision Super's position as a community super fund."

Milne added: "Industry Super funds are a national treasure; there are very few jobs where you are genuinely working for people's best interests - the focus on our members' futures gives me an opportunity to combine my theoretical and practical skills in ways that go beyond the standard playbook."
