The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has appointed former executive manager of policy and research Tom Garcia as CEO, effective immediately.
Mr Garcia said he looks forward to working closely with staff, member funds and other industry stakeholders to ensure that superannuation policy outcomes were always in the best interests of members and the perspective of the not-for-profit sector was part of the debate.
"Tom has played a pivotal role in driving AIST's advocacy of the superannuation reforms, governance, adequacy and the many other issues affecting members of not-for-profit super funds," AIST president Cate Wood said.
"He has a deep understanding of the superannuation landscape and the board is confident he will build on the success of AIST as a vocal and influential peak body for Australia's $500 billion not-for-profit sector," she said.
Ms Reynolds departed the chief executive role at AIST in January to accept the role of managing director of the London-based United Nations Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI).
