PacSuper

PacSuper today announced the appointment of Chris Hagan as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 June 2025, succeeding Eric Kramer, who has resigned from the role after leading the organisation through a period of significant change and transition.

Mr Hagan returns to PacSuper with deep superannuation experience, having previously served as CEO of the fund during its time as the Aon Master Trust, giving him unique insight into its heritage and future potential. Most recently with National Finance, Mr Hagan has held senior roles across the sector in Papua New Guinea, including at JMP Securities and as CEO of the Association of Superannuation Funds of Papua New Guinea.

With nearly three decades of leadership across investment advisory, trustee services, fund administration, fixed income and investment strategy, compliance, governance, and corporate leadership, Mr Hagan is well-positioned to lead PacSuper’s continued evolution and growth on behalf of its members.

Jason McIlvena, Chairman of PacSuper, said, “Chris brings a unique blend of institutional insight, operational experience, and deep knowledge of the superannuation landscape in PNG. We’re pleased to welcome him back to PacSuper at a time of renewed focus and momentum. His understanding of the local market, proven leadership, and strong track record in the superannuation and investment industry make him the right choice to lead us forward.”

The Board also acknowledged the contribution of outgoing CEO Eric Kramer, who has held the role since early 2024, during which time he successfully steered the fund through the transition from Aon to PacSuper.

“We thank Eric for his leadership and commitment during such a pivotal time, and wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” McIlvena continued.

Mr Hagan will work closely with Mr Kramer to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
