FEAL names new CEO
The Fund Executives Association Limited (FEAL) will kick off 2023 with a new chief executive officer, with Katrina Bacon replacing the outgoing Joanna Davison who is stepping down and retiring after nine years in the role.
Commencing in the role from 1 January, Bacon brings over 25 years of experience in the superannuation industry and expertise in advising funds, providers and employers on a wide range of superannuation topics.
“I am delighted to welcome Katrina to the association. She knows FEAL and its members well, and cares deeply about what we do,” Brian Delaney, Chair of FEAL’s Board.
“Her broad industry knowledge and insights will give us a strong base for FEAL’s next stage.”
Delaney also thanked Davison for her leadership of the association and wished her well in retirement.
“Joanna has transformed FEAL in her time as our CEO. The growth in our membership is testament to the way Joanna has embedded the vision of the organisation to be the leading provider of professional development and education for fund executives.
“She has developed the services and programs we provide, enhanced our governance, and made FEAL a place for industry leaders of today and tomorrow to collaborate, learn and develop.”
Bacon started her career in the superannuation industry as a consulting actuary with Towers Perrin, before spending 21 years in KPMG’s Superannuation Advisory practice.
“[I am] delighted to be taking on the FEAL CEO responsibilities, and is looking forward to supporting our members, and developing the value FEAL provides,” Bacon said.
“I am a believer in the alignment of the not-for-profit sector and am a long-time admirer of FEAL and its mission. I am genuinely excited to pick up the reins from Joanna and work with the FEAL team, Board and members.
“We will continue to deliver and further develop professional support and education to our Executive members, helping them return outstanding outcomes for whole generations of working Australians.”
