NSW Government-owned super member administrator, Pillar Administration, had a new chair from June 18.
The former director-general of the NSW Premier’s Department, Col Gellatly, took over from Bob Walker, who it’s understood had chaired the NSW Government-owned organisation since before it changed its name from SAC to Pillar in 2001. Pillar directors are appointed and removed at the behest of Pillar’s ‘shareholder’ ministers – currently Commerce Minister John Della Bosca and Treasurer Michael Costa. The chief executive of Pillar, Peter Cormack, was unavailable for comment at presstime.
Since taking over the top job at the $44 billion Funds SA more than a year ago, chief executive John Piteo has ushered in an investment function overhaul and wrapped up an important stage of the fund’s five-year data transformation program. It pledges to recentre around investment performance and more efficient processes, as the “missing piece” has been found in incoming CIO Con Michalakis.
