I’m incredibly proud to have been considered for this role and genuinely excited about what’s ahead. The support I’ve received from my colleagues in New Zealand and our broker partners over the past 18 months has given me the perfect springboard. We have great people in this business, and I’m looking forward to working closely with our wider ANZ team and broker network to deliver on our strategy”.
