Lisa Darmanin, who has been a director and served as deputy chair for the industry fund for the last three years, will step into the role following the completion of outgoing chair Geoff Lake’s three-year term.
“My career has been focused on supporting workers, and particularly women, when it comes to their workplace rights,” Ms Darmanin said.
“Vision Super has a long history as a fund that also supports workers through their working lives as they save for retirement to achieve the best possible outcomes – and the majority of those members are women.
“I could not be more delighted to be leading a fund that shares my commitment to improving outcomes for working women and men – I know everyone on the board, the executive team and our very capable staff shares that passion and commitment.”
Prior to her role with Vision, Ms Darmanin worked as a trustee director at HESTA from 2013-2017 and has previously worked in various roles in the Victorian Department of Premier and Cabinet, working on Victorian government initiatives in gender equality and family violence prevention.
“Lisa could not be more passionate and committed to serving Vision Super’s members,” Mr Lake said.
“She brings a wealth of leadership experience to the role, and I look forward to seeing Vision Super continuing to achieve great things under her direction.
“It was a great privilege to serve as the chair of a fund that truly puts the best interests of members at the centre of all we do.
“Lisa has been a great support to me as chair, the board unanimously endorsed her taking over as chair – and it is very reassuring to be able to finish my term knowing that the leadership of the board is in very capable hands.”
