Changes in ANZ New
Zealand top management
New ANZ Group CEO Shayne
Elliott today announced a number of changes to his
leadership team, some of which also mean changes in New
Zealand.
David Hisco, currently CEO New Zealand and
Global Head of Retail, will take on new responsibilities as
CEO New Zealand and as a Group Executive to include ANZ’s
operations in the Pacific and International Retail.
ANZ
New Zealand Retail and Business Banking Managing Director
Fred Ohlsson has also been promoted, to the role of Group
Executive - Australia Division, and will join Mr Elliott’s
newly formed Group Executive Committee along with Mr
Hisco.
Mr Ohlsson will be replaced by the Managing Director Wealth and Private Bank for New Zealand, John Body. Mr Body’s appointment is subject to no objections from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
“ANZ New Zealand continues to be a great breeding ground for international executives,” Mr Hisco said.
“I am very proud of these promotions for Fred and John because much of it is a direct result of the great work everyone in the New Zealand business has been doing since the merger of the ANZ and National Bank brands and technology systems in 2012.
“Under Fred’s leadership market share in Retail and Business Banking has continued to grow. Almost one in two New Zealanders now has some kind of financial relationship with ANZ and we’re number one in mortgages in every major city in the country. Under John’s leadership, the Wealth business has grown to be New Zealand’s leading KiwiSaver provider and to be the country’s largest fund manager.”
