ANZ NZ CFO Stewart Taylor, who has been with the bank since 2007, will be the chief financial officer of New Zealand insurance company Partners Life.

Antonia Watson, ANZ NZ chief executive, said Taylor had played a significant role in the bank’s growth in recent years, and would be missed.

Taylor “loves a challenge and this change will enable him to use his great leadership and organisational skills even more,” Watson said. “We’re grateful to have had Stewart in key finance and funds management roles these past 15 years at ANZ NZ, where he has brought a strong strategic focus on revenues, costs, and people management and engagement.”
