HUB24 announces new Class CEO
HUB24 has announced the appointment of Tim Steele as chief executive of the self-managed superannuation fund administration technology firm Class, which HUB24 acquired earlier this year.
Steele would join the HUB24 from MLC and report to the group’s CEO and managing director, Andrew Alcock.
“Tim brings a wealth of executive experience in leading teams and working with financial professionals to deliver customer centric solutions,” Alcock said.
“I am delighted to welcome Tim to Class to lead the business forward as we focus on delivering great customer outcomes and enhancing Class’s already market-leading SMSF documents and corporate compliance solutions.”
Most recently, Steele was group executive, retirement and investment solutions at MLC after joining NAB in 2016 as general manager of NAB Financial Planning. Prior to that, Steele was managing director of ipac and Genesys Wealth Advisers.
Since leaving MLC in mid-2021, Steele had consulted to large financial services companies on strategy and leveraging technology for business growth and transformation.
Steele would replace Jason Entwistle, HUB24’s director of strategic development, who was appointed as interim CEO of Class following the acquisition.
Steele would start as CEO of Class on 1 August, 2022.
