The role of Business Development in any organisation is a demanding one.

Josie McKinnon 
Group HR Manager

Josie holds the dual role in the company as the Office Manager and as Personal Assistant to the Managing Director. Prior to joining us in 1998 Josie gained valuable experience as a PA to Managing Directors in other large and very large companies in the financial and retail industries. This has been put to good use during the last few years with the continued growth and necessary relocation of our office and staff. There are very few weeks in any year where Supercorp does not have staff on assignment interstate or overseas and the good management of resources, people, travel and communications in this sort of environment is an essential part of Josie's day. Bringing many years of experience into this role Josie also has attended to her specific industry knowledge by completing the Certificate in Superannuation Management in 2000.
