The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has appointed a new director of government relations and strategy, with Gordon Noble poised to take on the role.
Noble is currently the deputy chief executive officer of the Committee for Melbourne, but will take up his role on a part-time basis from next week, and will commence full-time work with ASFA from 28 March, 2011.
Based in Melbourne, Noble’s primary role at ASFA will be to assist with the development and implementation of the association’s policy positions through advocacy and media strategies.
ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos said the appointment reflected the significance of communication during industry reform.
“Dialogue with all parliamentarians in Canberra, advisers, Treasury and bureaucrats has never been more important in this time of reform, and Gordon is more than able to continue that dialogue,” she said.
Among his previous roles, Noble was a policy adviser to Senator Stephen Conroy and was also the national employer coordinator of policy and development at CBUS.
He replaces Khaldoun Hajaj who recently left ASFA to take up an international strategy position in the United Arab Emirates.
