Executive Overview
I joined the team at Westpac New Zealand as CEO in November 2021. For the past 25 years I have worked in financial services organisations in the UK and New Zealand, including Barclays, ASB and Lloyds TSB. I am passionate about the role a bank has to support the community that it serves. We can be a force for good in helping New Zealanders achieve what they want to achieve and help the New Zealand economy as a whole.
