"With over 20 years' experience in senior management positions including within the financial services sector, Ms Perry's contribution to the board will be invaluable, particularly during a time where the superannuation industry is facing challenges which require strong leadership," ASFA CEO Pauline Vamos stated.
Ms Perry has also held roles as CEO of JP Morgan Treasury and Securities Services Australia and New Zealand, and as chief operations officer of AXA.
ASFA board chair Mr Tony Lally also welcomed Ms Perry.
"On behalf of the board, I would like to congratulate Ms Perry on her appointment and we look forward to working with her over the coming months," Mr Lally said.
