Leggo replaces Clive Batrouney, who has been in the job since 2003.
Leggo was previously with AvSuper as chair. He was on the board of the superannuation fund for 18 years and announced his retirement earlier this year.
This year, Leggo was named trustee of the year by the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees.
Leggo began his career as an air traffic controller. He was invited to take up a board appointment at AvSuper when he was at the Australian Air Traffic Controllers Association as vice president.
