“Andrew’s deep understanding of customers developed over a career in banking and his leadership is using data, insights and technology to meet their needs will be important to achieving this ambition.”
Irvine said at its core, the business and private banking area was all about supporting its customers and the broader economy.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues at NAB to grow these foundations as we help our customers through the impacts of COVID-19 and out the other side,” Irvine said.
He would be based in Melbourne, starting from 1 September, subject to regulatory approvals.
