Anastasia Moskvina has been confirmed as head of data and analytics at the NZ Super Fund, having run the team on an acting basis since March. The announcement came on July 1.
The fund is run by the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, which manages the $93 billion New Zealand Superannuation Fund. Moskvina joined its data and analytics team in October 2022.
Before that she spent more than four years as a data scientist at BNZ. Her qualifications are a Master of Information Technology, Mathematics and Economics from Irkutsk State University and a PhD in Computer Science from Auckland University of Technology.
What the fund says about her
Will Goodwin, the Guardians’ co-chief investment officer, said the fund is intent on building data, analytics and AI capability to support better investment outcomes. He said her expertise in modelling and analysis, and her ability to use data science to meet business needs, suit that work well.
“Anastasia is already playing a leading role in shaping our thinking on AI and advanced analytics, including AI governance, practical use cases, and how we build scalable capability across the Guardians,” Goodwin said.
He closed with a line on the choice itself: “Her appointment reflects the combination of technical ability and leadership qualities she brings to the team.”
