Two directors join Equip Super board


Equip Super has announced the appointment of Penny Davy-White and Lisbeth Rasmussen as member directors following Equip’s successful merger with Rio Tinto’s Staff Super fund in July last year.
Davy-Whyte had held a number of senior management positions, including leading the Federal Government’s media communications agency, and would bring a focus on digital marketing strategies to her new role.
Rasmussen had over 30 years’ experience managing superannuation member funds, overseeing $42 billion in assets and working closely with the SAS Trustee Corporation board.
The new directors would commence their roles in July this year for three years.
Equip chair, Andrew Fairly, welcomed the new directors, who would fill positions previously held by Pippa Leary and Jane Simon.
“Penny and Lisbeth bring a terrific depth of experience to further enhance the skills based Board that underpins Equip’s success,” he said.
