Rest, one Australia’s largest profit-to-member superannuation funds, has appointed Kulwant Singh-Pangly as Chief Commercial Officer, subject to regulatory requirements, reporting to Chief Executive Officer Vicki Doyle as a member of the Executive Leadership Team.
The appointment comes as Rest moves into the next phase of its strategy, Super Simple for Life, which supports members from their first job through to retirement.
In the newly established role, Mr Singh-Pangly will lead key enterprise functions including strategy, finance, tax, valuations and investment operations, legal and company secretariat, public policy and advocacy, and strategic procurement and facilities.
Rest Chief Executive Officer Vicki Doyle says Mr Singh-Pangly’s appointment strengthens Rest’s leadership capability at an ambitious and exciting time for the fund.
"Kulwant is a purpose-led and experienced strategic leader with deep commercial, governance, transformation and superannuation experience. He knows Rest well, having previously made a significant impact as Chief Financial Officer, and we are thrilled to welcome him back," Ms Doyle says.
"Kulwant’s leadership will help us bring teams along on the journey, enable strong functional leadership and support high performance across the enterprise as we continue to scale, simplify and deliver for members."
Mr Singh-Pangly brings more than 25 years’ senior commercial and financial leadership experience across superannuation, financial services, investment management, insurance, government enterprise and professional services.
He has previously held senior executive roles including Chief Financial Officer at Rest, Group Chief Financial Officer at QSuper, and Chief Operating and Financial Officer and Managing Director Business Services at Queensland Treasury Corporation.
Mr Singh-Pangly says he is excited to return to Rest at an important time for the fund and its members.
"Rest has a clear purpose, strong momentum and an important role to play in helping millions of Australians achieve their best retirement. I am looking forward to working with Vicki, the Executive Leadership Team and teams across Rest to help support strong outcomes for members," Mr Singh-Pangly says.
