Fidelity Life has appointed banking and infrastructure specialist Nicola Greer (pictured) as an independent director.
Greer’s appointment to the board follows the retirements of independent directors Carole Durbin and Anne Blackburn within the past 18 months.
Brian Blake, Chair of Fidelity Life, says Greer joins the firm at a pivotal time for the business, characterised by regulatory changes, company-wide transformation and, more recently, the challenges posed by Covid-19.
Blake says: “At a time when our industry is facing significant challenges, Nicola’s expertise will be vital to Fidelity Life.
“She has a strong track record of being able to identify existing and emerging risks to businesses, then helping them not only manage those risks, but turn them into exciting opportunities.”
Greer’s current governance roles include directorships at South Port, New Zealand Railways Corporation, and she is a Member of the New Zealand Markets Disciplinary Tribunal. She is also a past director of Heartland Bank.
Prior to embarking on her governance career, Greer held senior positions at ANZ in New Zealand and Australia, and with Citibank and Goldman Sachs in London.
