“Rachel, Ana and Cath, who will lead NAB’s customer-facing businesses in Australia, are great relationship bankers who inspire their teams to deliver results for customers.
“They understand the importance of using technology and data to make NAB easier and simpler to bank with.
“This completes the executive leadership team that will take NAB forward and maintain the momentum we have across the business by executing with discipline and focus.
“We see plenty of opportunities to build on NAB’s leadership in areas such as business lending, particularly to small and medium businesses, while continuing to deliver better outcomes for customers and colleagues.”
