BNZ appoints new head of private bank

BNZ has appointed Charlotte Noble-Beasley as its new head of private bank, who has taken the role over from Donna Nicolof.

Noble-Beasley was previously managing partner of the bank’s Wellington branch, and has over 20 years’ experience in the banking sector. Commenting on the appointment, BNZ said her wealth of experience, expertise and “clear passion for great customer outcomes” will be “invaluable” as it looks to grow its private bank business.

Noble-Beasley has been with BNZ since 2015, and has previously held roles with Westpac, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank.

Outgoing head of private bank Donna Nicolof joined BNZ in 2013, and was previously a director at National Australia Bank for over eight years. She had previously stated in August that she was seeking new opportunities.

"To be the most awarded private bank in New Zealand and recognised as the best in the market for five consecutive years is quite an achievement and certainly not one that happens without the commitment and dedication of a wonderful team, from whom I get inspiration every day,” Nicolof said, as reported by goodreturns.

"It's been a privilege to lead this business and I'm so proud of the culture we have created, the impact we have had in market and the difference we have made to our valued clients and their families.

“Announcing this to our team yesterday has actually been quite emotional for me and I'm humbled by the response from people right across the business. As a leader, I've never really cared for recognition from above, I've always been motivated by doing what I believe is right, working hard and treating people with respect, so the response has been quite overwhelming. I guess we all hope we get it more right than wrong and listen to what we can do better next time."
