NAB/MLC insurance boss promoted
A former leader of National Australia Bank’s (NAB) Private and Institutional Wealth business, Andrew Hagger, has been elevated to its group executive committee as group executive, corporate affairs and marketing.
The banking group told the Australian Securities Exchange today that Hagger, who had most recently led the insurance business of MLC and NAB Wealth, would be responsible for marketing, brand, sponsorships, events, community and corporate responsibility, corporate affairs and government and public policy.
Hagger joined NAB in 2008 after working as a managing partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Melbourne.
