Mr Hill, who has held the top job at REST since 2006, was presented with the award at the FEAL members’ dinner held in Melbourne.
“The FEAL Fund Executive of the Year award recognises the work of outstanding leaders in the Australian superannuation industry and Damian epitomises what it means to be a true leader,” AMP Capital head of institutional business John Meagher said.
"He has taken REST from strength to strength and also contributed to the industry’s development through his participation in many working groups and consultation committees, with a particular focus on legislative changes to superannuation and disclosure to superannuation members,” he said.
As part of the award, Mr Hill has received a $20,000 executive education grant to be used at one of the world’s most renowned business schools.
