The FSC announced on Monday that Kelly Power, chief executive officer of Colonial First State Superannuation, has joined the FSC board.
Ms Power brings more than 20 years of experience in financial services to the role, with the FSC applauding in particular the part she has played in transforming the CFS Super and Investments business.
“We are delighted to have someone of Kelly’s calibre and experience in the superannuation, financial advice and platforms sectors joining the FSC board,” said FSC chairman David Bryant.
“As a senior industry leader with a commitment to placing the interests of consumers at the forefront of policy development, Kelly will make an invaluable contribution as the FSC continues to lead national debates.”
Ms Power was previously the head of platforms at BT Financial Group, where she also held a number of other executive management roles.
Speaking on her appointment, Ms Power said: “I am excited to be joining the FSC board.”
“This is an exciting period of innovation and competition in the sector, and I look forward to working with my fellow FSC directors to drive positive change for consumers and help shape the future of financial services in Australia.”
