NAB grabs Rynski from major rival
(15 September 2017 – Australia) National Australia Bank (NAB) has poached Julie Rynski from “Big Four” rival Westpac, appointing her to the role of Executive General Manager Specialised Banking.
She will be reporting to Chief Customer Officer, Business and Private Banking, Angela Mentis. In a media release, NAB said Rynski will lead the bank’s Agribusiness, Health, Education, Government and Community and Franchising units to “deliver specialist banking services and extend NAB’s market share in Australia’s fastest growing sectors.”
She was most recently Westpac’s General Manager Small, Medium Enterprises and Connect NOW, a role in which she established a dedicated SME division.
Mentis said of the appointment, “Australia’s future economic prosperity is inextricably linked to fast growth sectors like Agribusiness, Health and Education.
“NAB has a long and proud history backing these businesses and we’re continuing to support their growth with more bankers, deeper industry insights, and innovative digital solutions such as Australia’s first HICAPS Mobile digital platform, which will make it easier for customers to locate, make appointments and pay for healthcare services on the go.
“Julie’s leadership strengths, deep understanding of specialised banking and passion for customers will ensure we continue to deliver a great customer experience.”
In research from East & Partners, although NAB ranks first in market share among the small business segment, Commonwealth Bank is quickly making up ground in the space.
