State Super managing director Peter McKillop retires
State Super Financial Services (SSFS) will be looking for a new managing director after incumbent Peter McKillop announced his retirement.
McKillop established SSFS in 1990 and led it to its current position with 45,000 clients and 270 employees across 15 offices, investing around $8.7 billion.
