The $330B Australian Retirement Trust has named Kathy Vincent its new chief executive officer, effective Oct. 1, 2025, succeeding David Anderson who recently resigned to spend more time with family.
Vincent, who is currently chief operating officer at the superannuation fund, was a natural choice for the role, said Andrew Fraser, chair at ART, in a news release. “Kathy brings enormous experience and commitment to the CEO role. As a leader with a large span of influence, Kathy is exceptionally well placed to lead ART into the future. I know her to be not just a quality leader but someone who will strive for excellence on behalf of the 2.4M Australians who are counting on ART to secure their retirement savings.”
She joined ART as chief of retirement in December 2023 as chief of retirement, before moving into the COO role to lead key initiatives such as the integration of ART’s investment menu and implementation of unified platforms for advice and member services. Her prior roles include executive positions at Westpac, NAB and Macquarie.
Rodney Greenhalgh, ART’s executive general manager of product and services, will serve as interim COO during the search for Vincent’s permanent replacement.
“Across my career I’ve been able to work at some extraordinary institutions, but I can truly say I’ve never felt as at home as I do at ART,” said Vincent, in the news release. “Thanks to David’s leadership, ART is on a clear path towards where we want to be by 2030, and I’m determined to keep us driving towards that goal.”
Fraser thanked Anderson for his leadership and the development of ART’s 2030 Strategy. “David’s tenure as CEO has resulted in the introduction of a focused strategy and streamlined operating model designed to drive the next phase of ART’s growth and deliver even greater outcomes for our members,” he said.
ART has undergone multiple leadership changes this year, including the departure of Greg Barnes, its head of public markets, and Herbert Chang, head of capital markets.
