The National Reconstruction Fund's most senior human resources executive has resigned, as the $15 billion government organisation deals with an investigation into whistleblower allegations and the fallout from a public audit which revealed several operational lapses.

In an email to staff on Wednesday viewed by Capital Brief, NRF chief executive David Gall confirmed chief people officer Fiona McLean was leaving to "pursue other opportunities".

In the email, Gall said McLean's departure would trigger an external recruitment process, though he welcomed internal candidates to express interest in the role.

Gall emphasised that "People and Culture is an extremely important part of the NRF" and pledged continued efforts to implement "best practice processes and policies."
