Anglican Church - visit from Hans Kunnen

12th July 2022

Hans Kunnen

Husband and father

Ex UNE and economist

Anglican church parishioner

Mentor of refugees

9/11 survivor

Hans Kunnen was born in Scotland to Dutch parents and migrated with his family from England to Australia 50 years ago.  Hans taught at the University of New England in the early 1980s and was a tutor in Robb College.  In 1984 he joined State Bank NSW and by 2001, Hans was chief economist at Colonial First State, one of Australia’s largest fund and superannuation managers.

Hans retired from Colonial First State in 2008 but by 2009 his wife had encouraged him to ‘get a job’!  He was chief economist at St. George Bank for a few years before attempting to retire again. So far so good, but he still works casually in the finance sector.

Hans is married to Suzanne and they have three adult children. Hans attends Glenhaven Anglican church in Sydney and has been involved in mentoring refugees.  He enjoys a good book and collects coins from time to time. He also supports South Sydney in the NRL - having married into that particular tribe!
