The Retirement and Superannuation Solutions (RSS) arm of global organisation, Link Group, has appointed Nicola Scott as its new Chief Financial Officer.

Reporting to RSS chief executive, Dee McGrath, Scott will take responsibility for directing the finance division to support the provision of services for clients and deliver strong shareholder returns.

Link Group said in a statement Scott will also work closely with other teams in the business to ensure financial investments in projects will “produce the best efficiency dividends” or work towards “delivering exceptional member outcomes”.

Scott also brings over 25 years of experience in finance, consulting and auditing across the United Kingdom, Asia Pacific region and Australia, having most recently spent time at Pendal Group rebuilding its finance division to align with its business transformation journey.

“Having studied science and commerce, I have always enjoyed solving problems and working with numbers,” Scott said.

“It’s no surprise that I am passionate about making super, quality financial advice and retirement solutions affordable and accessible to as many individuals and families as possible.

“Link Group plays a key role in delivering on this objective through its leading technology solutions and digital platforms, changing the way people prepare for and live in retirement.”

Scott’s previous roles include senior finance management positions within the institutional arm of ANZ Bank and infrastructure project management and regulatory reform implementation across ANZ Asia Pacific.

“This appointment will play a significant role in managing increased regulation and looks to build on our leadership position as we expland into new global markets, creating opportunities to produce stronger returns for shareholders,” McGrath said.

“Nicola is a great fit within our leadership team and shares our beliefs of client-first, teamwork and agility.”
