AMIST Super chief executive John Livanas has confirmed that he will step down from his role to take up the chief executive position at State Super, the NSW government employees' superannuation scheme.
Livanas will step down on 21 October this year from his role at the meat industry super fund and join State Super on 24 October.
"The AMIST Super Board has been one of best boards I've worked with," Livanas said. "The board's professionalism has been the single biggest factor in AMIST Super performing in the top quartile and winning multiple awards," he said.
"Leaving AMIST Super at this time was one of the most difficult decisions I've made," Livanas said.
Jack Sullivan will be acting AMIST chief executive from 4 November until a new chief is appointed, with Melinda Gibson acting as AMIST chief executive for the intervening period until Sullivan takes over.
Livanas joined AMIST Super at the start of 2008 and was given a brief by the Board to continue to develop AMIST Super in light of changes to the Superannuation environment.
Investor Weekly reported on speculation of Livanas joining in the chief role earlier this month.
