NGS Super has appointed Fotine Kotsilas as its new chief risk officer, a significant move to support the fund's next phase of growth. Kotsilas joins from NobleOak Life, bringing over 25 years of experience in risk management and regulatory compliance. Her appointment follows several recent changes to the fund's executive committee, including the appointment of Ben Facer as chief member officer and deputy CEO, Philippa Minney as chief financial officer, and Luke Jansson as chief people officer.

Fotine Kotsilas will leverage her deep expertise in risk management and regulatory compliance to drive transformation initiatives and enhance operational resilience at NGS Super. She previously held senior roles at Suncorp, AMP, Resolution Life, and icare, and her broad industry experience makes her an excellent fit for the position [1].

CEO Natalie Previtera commented on the appointment, stating, "Fotine's appointment strengthens our leadership bench at a time when strong risk oversight is more important than ever. Her broad industry experience and track record in building resilient, member-first risk frameworks make her an excellent fit for NGS and the future we’re building."

Kotsilas commenced in the role this week, following a period where Graeme Alexander served as acting chief risk officer. She expressed her excitement about joining the NGS team at such a pivotal moment, stating, "NGS Super has a strong purpose and a clear ambition to grow while staying true to its values. I look forward to supporting the fund’s strategy through disciplined risk management and the fostering of a strong risk culture."

The appointment of Kotsilas is part of NGS Super's ongoing efforts to position itself for continued growth in an increasingly competitive and complex superannuation environment. The fund's recent executive changes reflect a commitment to delivering long-term value for members and driving forward its strategic objectives.
