National Australia Bank has announced a management shake-up that will, as expected, see Steve Tucker, group executive of NAB Wealth, depart after 25 years with the company. Andrew Hagger, who currently heads up human resources, marketing and communications, will replace Tucker.
In announcing the changes as part of a broader technology and strategy update, NAB Group CEO Cameron Clyne paid tribute to Tucker.
“Steve has given 25 years of service to MLC and NAB, including almost nine years as CEO of MLC, and has led the way in championing greater transparency and fairness, which has provided benefits for all customers across the wealth industry, not just our customers,” he said.
The group executive changes will take effect from April 2013 to enable a smooth transition.
