Casey to run ARISA
After a several month search, the Australian Retirement Income Streams Association (ARISA) has hired Kevin Casey as the association’s new chief executive.
Casey starts with the group today on a two day a week basis after an extensive career as an AMP executive. He fills the shoes of former chief executive Kieren Dell who resigned in early March after 12 months in the role. Since then, ARISA executive director Deane Russell has been acting chief executive.
Casey has had his own consulting business since retiring from AMP last June, where he spent 34 years in a majority of superannuation roles and lastly as technical services manager. His many years of industry experience also includes past chairman of the IFSA superannuation committee for two years, and a member of several IFSA and ASFA committees.
During his career, Casey has also spent time as a member of advisory committees to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and the Insurance and Superannuation Commission (now Australian Prudential Regulation Authority).
ARISA chair Sue Merriman says the addition of Casey as new chief executive and his strong industry background will allow the association to build on its achievements.
