Sunsuper has made two new executive appointments to lead the newly created advice and product functions aimed at targeting new members and establishing the brand more firmly on a national scale.

Michael Mulholland will head up the new growth and advice division, and Jason Sommer will lead the new product, projects and technical services team.

The growth and advice team will be responsible for building Sunsuper's financial planning capability and developing and implementing a national sales strategy that will maximise opportunities to attract new corporate and institutional clients.

The products, projects and technical services team will drive Sunsuper's strategic change agenda enhancing competitive capability in the corporate market and delivering digital transformation.

Mulholland has over 20 years' experience in financial services having held a variety of leadership positions at MLC and PLUM in business development and customer service.

Sommer has 18 years' experience in superannuation having most recently worked at NAB Wealth and, prior to that, Mercer and Sedgwick Noble Lowndes.

Sunsuper chief executive Scott Hartley said these structural changes will ramp up the fund's growth ambitions to build scale and compete successfully in the corporate arena.
