Following the absorption of fifteen members of the former State Super investment team, we have made a senior appointment to oversee the operational elements our expanded ICIO capability will bring.
Louise Hulley will join Frontier as our inaugural Chief Operations Officer. Louise’s role will extend beyond investment operations function, and take on a whole-of-firm focus.
Louise brings more than twenty years of executive experience having lead investment management operations, regulatory compliance and business transformation across complex financial services environments. Most recently she held the role of Group CFO of Balmain NB Corporation, a commercial mortgage lending and investment funds management group with over $3 billion in funds under management.
Our CEO, Andrew Polson, said her familiarity with investment platforms, custody operations and operational risk management make her a perfect fit for the new role.
“We’re delighted to welcome Louise into this important new role. It’s an exciting time for Frontier as we bed down our new Independent Chief Investment Office capability which brings a range of new areas and responsibilities to plan for and manage. Louise’s experience with current risk frameworks, regulatory oversight and investment operations will be invaluable as we mature and grow our business, and our leaders.
Louise’s remit will extend to operational oversight of all aspects of our business, not just our new capability. She will also join our Leadership Team and bring a fresh lens to our strategic planning and financial oversight.”
At the same time we have also added further depth to our junior ranks with two new Analysts set to start in 2026. Matthew Parsons and Xize Guo will join our Melbourne team while Louise Hulley will join our Sydney office in the new year, which will now number nineteen staff.
