CareSuper bolsters leadership team with new appointments

CareSuper has strengthened its leadership ranks with a series of senior appointments across people and culture, member proposition, compliance, governance, investment risk, and corporate affairs.

Clare Butler has joined as general manager, people, culture, and capability while and Amara Haqqani has been appointed general manager proposition, planning and performance. Aileen Koh has also moved into the role of general manager compliance.

The $65 billion fund will further expand its leadership team appointing Adam Matheson as general manager governance and company secretary in early October, and Craig Roodt as senior manager, investment risk and Jane Macnamara as general manager corporate affairs and advocacy in November.

"Each brings a wealth of experience, leadership and expertise that will help CareSuper continue delivering strong outcomes for our members, employers and stakeholders," a CareSuper spokesperson said.

The appointment follows a broader expansion of the fund's investment capabilities this year, including the appointment of Jessica Melville as general manager portfolio management and Andrew Thomas as general manager portfolio design in August.

Melville joined CareSuper from AustralianSuper, where she spent most of five years as head of mid risk portfolio strategy and research. She is responsible for driving CareSuper's investment program across asset classes.

CareSuper also reported solid investment performance over the 2025-26 financial year, with its Balanced option returning 7.73% in the year to 30 June 2026 and its Retirement Income Balanced option returning 8.25%.

The fund said all pre-mixed options exceeded their CPI + percentage point investment objectives over the 10 years to 30 June 2026.

The latest leadership appointments come as CareSuper continues to build its organisational and investment capabilities following the significant expansion of its investment team.

"We are excited to have them on board and look forward to the valuable contributions they will make to our fund," the CareSuper spokesperson said.
