She was appointed to the role in 2017, prior to which she spent 13 years at ANZ; the final eight years as Group General Manager Marketing.

Greater Bank Chairman, Wayne Russell, welcomed Louise to the Board and is looking forward to working with her to continue to foster the customer-owned bank’s commitment to providing customers with outstanding service and quality products.
“Louise is an outstanding appointment whose experience will be particularly valuable as we guide the organisation through transformation that is digitally focused and largely driven by shifting customer need,” Wayne said.
“I look forward Louise’s contribution, particularly at a leadership and strategic planning level, as we as a board continue to guide the organisation to deliver against our value proposition to help our customers achieve their financial objectives.”
“I would also like to pay tribute to Scott Robinson for the role he has played in shaping the Board and organisation during his 12-year tenure.”
“Over this time we have seen tremendous change to our organisation, most noticeably our transition from a building society to a customer-owned bank. I thank Scott for the time and dedication he has given to the role and his contribution to the success of the bank,” said Wayne.
