ANZ NZ's heads of institutional banking and commercial & agri banking are promoted to group roles and succeeded from within

The country's biggest bank has announced the departure of two more of its senior executive team to ANZ group roles.

ANZ New Zealand says David Green, its managing director of institutional banking, is leaving for Singapore to become CEO of ANZ Singapore and head of South East Asia and India. And Graham Turley, ANZ NZ's managing director of commercial and agri banking, is moving to Sydney to be managing director of institutional banking for ANZ Australia.

In their places ANZ NZ has appointed Paul Goodwin, who has been the bank's head of institutional relationships, as managing director of institutional banking. And Mark Hiddleston, the bank's general manager of commercial and agri banking for Auckland and Northland, is succeeding Turley as managing director of commercial and agri banking.

The latest executive changes at ANZ NZ come after new ANZ group CEO Shayne Elliot, a New Zealander, last month took Fred Ohlsson, ANZ NZ's retail and business banking managing director, to Australia to take up the role of group executive of ANZ's Australia division. And Hisco himself was given responsibility as group executive for ANZ’s operations in the Pacific, as well as head of international retail banking.

ANZ NZ has been a star performer within the ANZ group over the past three or four years since the 2012 culling of the National Bank brand and moving of ANZ onto the National Bank's IT platform.

ANZ NZ CEO David Hisco said both Green and Turley had made "great contributions."

“David has ensured that our institutional business has the largest market share in that segment of the market and consistently tops the Peter Lee Associates customer satisfaction surveys. And ANZ is New Zealand’s largest commercial and agri lender and has been named ‘Canstar Best Agribusiness Bank’ for each of the past four years under Graham’s leadership," Hisco said.

Hisco also said he's promoting Liz Maguire, ANZ NZ's head of digital and transformation, to the New Zealand leadership team. Maguire will continue in her current role, and help Hisco manage Asia retail banking and the Pacific for the ANZ group.

“Liz Maguire has been involved in a number of business critical and successful initiatives in New Zealand, including our recent brand and systems merger and our digital wallet project, and will bring added capability to my leadership team," said Hisco.

Goodwin, Hiddleston and Maguire's promotions are all subject to Reserve Bank approval.
