ANZ has appointed former Prime Minister Sir John Key as its New Zealand chairman.
Key will replace current chair John Judge who has been on the ANZ New Zealand board since December 2008, and the bank’s New Zealand chairman since June 2012. Judge will retire from his position in January 2018.
ANZ Group chair David Gonski said: “Sir John Key’s strong international career in banking and his understanding of and contacts across the Asia-Pacific – where many Australian and New Zealand companies are increasingly trading - will add great value to the governance of ANZ.”
Key was a graduate of the University of Canterbury. He was head of global foreign exchange with Merrill Lynch and a member of the foreign exchange committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
He was the Member of Parliament for Helensville from 2002 and Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2008 until 2016.
Gonski also thanked Judge for his contribution to the company. “John Judge’s tenure has overseen significant change in the ANZ New Zealand business,” he said.
