Effective 1 February 2020, Ruth Stringer will join HUB24’s board and become a member of its audit, risk and compliance committee drawing on leadership and legal expertise across funds management, superannuation, life insurance and financial planning, according to a statement.

Ms Stringer’s career to date includes working for MLC, where she was a member of the leadership team. More recently, she worked with ASIC and is currently engaged as a consultant to Herbert Smith Freehills.
