Frontier appoints head of people
Asset consulting firm, Frontier Advisors has appointed Margie Hill to the role of head of people.
Hill would join on 25 June from AustralianSuper where she served as general manager, people and culture.
Prior to that, she held senior human resources roles with companies including Westpac, Telstra and TRUenergy, and a range of government agencies and departments.
The firm said the move followed recent strong growth in the numbers in Frontier’s team, which exceeded 60 people and represented a near 40 per cent increase over three years.
Frontier’s chief executive, Andrew Polson, said: “Our clients benefit both from the calibre of our individual staff and also from the quality and effectiveness of our total team effort.”
“Bringing in a person of Margie’s skills and experience will be of great benefit as we strive to create an environment where our people can perform at their best.”
Frontier said it managed to achieve a strong position in relation to gender balance within its team with 44 per cent of the firm, and 37 per cent of its investment staff, being women.
