Angela Mentis has been announced as the new Managing Director and CEO of BNZ.
Mentis and current BNZ CEO Anthony Healy are switching jobs.
Healy will take over the NAB Chief Customer Officer – Business and Private Banking role.
BNZ Chairman Doug McKay said: “Angela will be the first female Managing Director and CEO of BNZ. She has been on the BNZ Board since December 2016 and knows BNZ and its strategy well. Angela is well-placed to ensure that BNZ remains focused on delivering for its customers, investors and employees.”
“On behalf of the BNZ Board I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Anthony for his tenure and service at BNZ. He has been an extremely effective, well-respected and successful leader, and we wish him all the best for his new role at NAB.”
NAB Group CEO Andrew Thorburn said these changes will only serve to further strengthen both the BNZ and NAB leadership teams.
“These are outstanding opportunities for two of NAB’s talented executives to broaden their leadership in different environments. Angela and Anthony are superb banking executives who have a clear understanding of what is needed to serve our customers.”
As the departing BNZ CEO, Healy said his eight years at BNZ had been the highlight of his career.
“My time at BNZ has been marked by some defining moments for New Zealanders. The Christchurch, Wellington and Kaikoura earthquakes were devastating and something I hope we don’t have to face again. But it was an exemplar of the BNZ spirit and how we rallied to support each other, our customers and the local communities.
