Good Super is a retail superannuation fund investing in profitable solutions to significant social and environmental problems. As the first employee of Good Super, I opened the first office, hired all key staff, prototyped and developed all day-to-day operations and processes. From zero members when I joined in October 2013, to 12,000 in October 2014, my innovations in driving consumer behaviour led to Good Super acquiring more members than any new superannuation fund. Under my leadership, Good Super built and developed a socially responsible culture resulting in CPA risk-aligned marketing partnerships with a projected value of over $20m in 2014-5, and designed and implemented an outbound call centre and Zendesk ticketing system addressing 1,000 compliance enquiries per month with an average resolution time less than 24 hrs with 99% of enquiries handled by junior staff.
