Warwick Hunt boasts an impressive background as the former Managing Partner of PwC in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa until 2022, and he previously led PwC New Zealand and PwC Middle East.

National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) appointed Warwick Hunt as an independent non-executive director, effective Monday, December 2, 2024. The decision was made public by NAB Chair Philip Chronican, highlighting Hunt's extensive qualifications and experience in professional services.

Warwick Hunt currently serves as the Chair of NAB’s subsidiary, Bank of New Zealand (BNZ). He will stand as a Board-endorsed candidate at NAB's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Melbourne on December 18, 2024. His appointment comes as a replacement for former BNZ Chair Doug McKay, who will step down as a Director at the AGM, alongside Anne Loveridge, who has completed three terms on the Board.

Mr. Chronican emphasized the significance of including New Zealand representation on the NAB Board, given the critical role the New Zealand economy plays and the contribution of BNZ to the NAB Group. “Warwick brings extensive experience in the leadership and governance of large professional service organizations in various international locations,” he stated. Chronican further added that Hunt's background as a chartered accountant and his diverse experience across multiple industries, including banking, aviation, oil and gas, sovereign wealth, and agriculture, will enhance the Board's composition.

Warwick Hunt has an impressive professional background, having served as the Managing Partner of PwC United Kingdom and Europe, Middle East, and Africa until 2022. His leadership extended beyond geographical boundaries, having previously led PwC New Zealand and PwC Middle East. Mr. Hunt was appointed to the BNZ Board in November 2022 and took on the role of Chair on June 1, 2024. Additionally, he is a director of Genesis Energy Limited in New Zealand, which is listed on both the NZX and ASX. In recognition of his contributions, he is also a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

The appointment of Mr. Hunt marks a strategic move for NAB as it continues to strengthen its governance framework and enhance its Board diversity. His wealth of experience in various sectors positions him well to contribute valuable insights and guidance as NAB navigates the complexities of the banking industry in a rapidly evolving economic landscape.

NAB has been proactive in its approach to governance and board composition, ensuring that it not only reflects the markets it serves but also leverages diverse perspectives to drive business success. The inclusion of leaders like Mr. Hunt demonstrates NAB's commitment to fostering an inclusive and effective governance structure.

As the banking sector faces challenges, including regulatory pressures and changing customer expectations, the experience and strategic vision brought by Warwick Hunt are anticipated to play a critical role in steering NAB's future direction. The upcoming AGM will be a significant occasion for the bank as it transitions leadership and embraces new opportunities for growth and innovation.

With the ongoing changes in leadership, stakeholders will be keen to see how Mr. Hunt's expertise will influence NAB’s strategic priorities and operational decisions in the coming years. The appointment of Warwick Hunt is not only a step toward enhancing the Board’s capabilities but also a reflection of NAB’s commitment to ensuring robust governance in the banking sector.
