The Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) has appointed Simon O'Connor as chief executive, following the resignation of Louise O'Halloran.
Ms O'Halloran stepped down as CEO at the end of 2012 after more than 10 years with the company.
Mr O'Connor has more than a decade's experience in financial services and sustainability projects, and was most recently leading economic adviser for the Australian Conservation Foundation.
He has also served as director and senior economist for Economists at Large and senior investment analyst at Innovest (now MSCI).
