The $12 billion financial services company FuturePlus has made an internal promotion, hiring Jim Thomas as its chief executive.
Thomas was previously acting chief executive of the company when Brett Westbrook resigned in September to pursue other professional interests.
Thomas has over 25 years experience in the financial service sector. He headed the superannuation and insurance services at Chifley Financial Services before the company was acquired by the Local Government Superannuation Scheme and the Energy Industries Superannuation Scheme.
"It is pleasing to see that an internal candidate was chosen for the role from such a wide field of experienced candidates," FuturePlus chair Craig Murray said.
"Having acted as acting chief executive for the past few months and experienced the demands and stresses of the job, I am thrilled to formalise this next step in my career," Thomas said.
