Mr Rowbottom has extensive experience in finance, operations, governance, product development and administration, having worked within superannuation companies and banks.
The CFO role was created following a decision by AUSCOAL to strengthen the group’s internal resources that currently manage over $8.7 billion in member retirement savings for the AUSCOAL Super Fund and the $1.3 billion Coal Industry Long Service Leave Fund.
Mr Rowbottom will be responsible for overseeing finance and enhancing the skills and capability of the internal team.
AUSCOAL Super chief executive Bruce Watson said after an internal and external search he was pleased to be able to appoint someone of Mr Rowbottom’s calibre.
“His values and philosophy are well aligned to AUSCOAL Super,” said Mr Watson.
