Former Christian Super chief executive re-surfaces at Sunsuper as the Queensland fund expands nationally.

The $13 billion Queensland-based industry fund Sunsuper has appointed two corporate business managers, positioning itself for national growth.

The fund has hired former Christian Super chief executive Paul Beckmann and ex-Commonwealth Financial Planning specialist Sean Byrne to its corporate business team.

"Sunsuper already has a large interstate presence through our corporate business. We are now planning to target stronger interstate growth and take our services to more clients nationwide," Sunsuper chief executive Tony Lally said.

Beckmann will be located in New South Wales while Byrne will be based in Victoria.

 
 

Beckmann has worked in financial services for 27 years and his experience includes consulting jobs with AMP and Mercer.

Byrne worked for the Australian Administration Services in client relationships and has over 30 years' experience in the industry.

"These new appointments, which come on the back of our plans to expand Sunsuper's national footprint, ensure we are well-positioned to exploit every opportunity to grow our client base in NSW and Victoria," Lally said.
