Cbus names new chief technology officer

Cbus has appointed Amanda Hagan as its chief technology officer, having not had one since 2024.

Cbus said Hagan brings decades of executive leadership experience across healthcare, energy and financial services, with a keen focus on technology development and business transformation.

Cbus chief executive Kristian Fok said the appointment is a pivotal one as the fund looks to modernise its systems and processes.

"We're living in a period of really rapid technological advancement, and it's critically important for Cbus to adapt," he said.

"Amanda is the right person to lead and execute our technology strategy as we position the fund for long-term sustainable growth."

In the role, Hagan will lead the business unit responsible for technology, digital services and cyber security, as well as supporting strategic execution, innovation and member-focused experiences.

Prior to joining Cbus, Hagan was executive director of retail markets at Alinta Energy where she led a major re-platforming of the retail business. Before that she spent 15 years with Australian Unity as chief executive, healthcare and group executive of customer, digital and technology.

Hagan also has previously spent more than a decade spent with Perpetual Limited and the ASX.

Hagan said she is embracing the challenge ahead of her.

"It's never been more important for super funds to be digitally secure, but at the same time open and accessible for members," she said.

"I'm honoured to have the opportunity to work hard for more than 925,000 Australians who've put their trust in Cbus to help them build for the future."

Former Cbus chief information and technology officer Mirella Robinson left the super fund in February 2024 to take on the chief technology officer role at MLC Life Insurance.
