Swanbury will take up his new Sydney-based position on April 23, replacing previous incumbent Andrew Miles, who was Melbourne-based.
Prior to joining ASFA in 2004, Robert worked in financial and company secretarial roles with software providers Olivetti Australia and the Australian Taxation Office.

“He has an exceptionally strong skills set for this key role, in which he will lead the FPA’s finance, technology, administration and legal work”.
