Bowtell also sits on the boards of Industry Fund Services , advertising arm Industry Super Australia and struggling online publicationShe is a director of the Housing Australia Future Fund, which Labor plans to use to tap private investors such as super funds to bankroll a $10 billion affordable housing overhaul.

IFM’s footprint in property markets is also set to increase, with merger talks progressing for it to acquire ISPT to create a $233 billion real asset powerhouse.
