Nunn appointed Statewide CEO


Richard Nunn has been appointed chief executive of industry super fund Statewide and will begin his role on 4 January 2016.
Statewide chairman, Juliet Brown, said Nunn has the experience and local market knowledge to drive the fund's future growth in the South Australian market.
"As a South Australian returning home Richard brings a local's understanding of our members, employers, and other stakeholders that gives us the confidence that the CEO transition process will be smooth," she said.
Nunn is currently NAB's general manager for strategic development in Asia. Prior to this he was NAB's executive general manger of advice and marketing, and held senior roles at AXA, IOOF, and the Commonwealth Bank.
"I've spent much of my career competing against the structural and reputational advantages provided by industry funds like Statewide, and it will be a genuine pleasure to be able to focus on leveraging the organisation's significant strengths in the marketplace," Nunn said.
Former chief executive, John O'Flaherty resigned on 1 May.
