Emergency Services Super (ESS) chief David Atkin has left the fund to become chief executive of Cbus.
Atkin replaces Sandy Grant who announced that he would retire from the industry fund in May.
Atkin was also head of industry superannuation fund Just Super and worked as a national marketing and communications manager with the Superannuation Trust of Australia, now part of AustralianSuper.
"David has broad managerial experience and a deep understanding of the nuances of industry superannuation. The board is delighted to have secured such a well credentialed person for the fund," Cbus chairman Ralph Willis said.
Cbus has $13 billion in funds under management. It is the industry fund for the construction and building industries.
ESS will be advertising for a new chief executive.
