SuperConcepts appoints interim CEO
Following the departure of Lara Bourguignon, AMP’s SuperConcepts has appointed Grant Christensen as interim chief executive.
Christensen was previously chief information officer at the firm and had held several executive roles since joining in 2006, including two years running the SuperConcepts YourSMSF administration business.
He also had knowledge of the individual businesses that had been acquired by the firm in recent years.
Chair, Stuart Forsyth, said: “[Grant’s appointment] gives us stability and continuity into 2021 which will see the culmination of four years of transformation that will deliver better administration services and software solutions to our clients”.
Bourguignon, who departed earlier this week after two years to move to a consulting role, said: “I think it is really wonderful to have someone with Grant's experience at the helm. It will provide continuity and certainty to our people and clients into the new year”.
