Peter Lawrence will join the local super fund where he will head up its tech and digital team, having more than 30 years’ experience in both the public and private sector.
“We’re excited to have someone of Peter’s depth of experience and talent help continue to build our digital and technology capability,” HESTA COO Stephen Reilly said.
“We think we have one of the most exciting technology programs in financial services and it continues to find new ways to make it easier for our members to engage seamlessly with their super 24/7, wherever they are.
“Peter is a proven, world-class technology leader and he will join a dynamic team that’s making a real difference to our members’ financial future, while also working with leading technology providers to solve fascinating strategic challenges at scale.”
Mr Lawrence joins HESTA from the Australian government’s Department of Defence where he worked as CIO and also previously worked in the same role with ANZ New Zealand.
“HESTA members do amazing work every day supporting the health and wellbeing of so many in our community. After a career spent serving others, they deserve the best retirement,” he said.
