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.
SSFS chairman Peeyush Gupta said that McKillop had built a great advisory firm on sound principles. “He has built the firm to ensure that the best interests of the client are always paramount,” he said.
SSFS has appointed Korn/Ferry to assist the board in searching for a replacement for McKillop, who will stay on until a successor is appointed, the company announced.
