REST has named AMP director of superannuation, retirement and investments Vicki Doyle as its new chief executive, effective in 2018.
Ms Doyle will replace long-serving REST chief executive Damian Hill, who announced his intention to leave the fund after 11 years in June.
Before joining AMP in 2015, Ms Doyle spent two year at BT where she was responsible for its corporate and direct superannuation businesses. Before that, she spent nine years at Suncorp.
REST chairman Ken Marshman said Ms Doyle was one of "several excellent prospects" uncovered during an executive search process.
"Her record speaks for itself. Vicki brings to REST extensive executive leadership experience and a track record in superannuation advocacy. She is a member of the ASFA Super System Design Policy Council and is also on the FSC Superannuation Board Committee," Mr Marshman said.
Chief operating officer Andrew Howard will act as interim chief executive during the transition period.
