AXA CFO finds better bet with Tabcorp
AXA Asia Pacificchief finance officer Matthew Slatter has headed for greener pastures and landed the position of chief executive officer and managing director with Tabcorp Holdings, an Australian gaming and wagering company.
Slatter, who has more than 20 years experience in the financial services industry in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, is expected to take up his new position in early October, after confirming his resignation from AXA today.
Prior to joining AXA, Slatter was chief executive of the Bank of Melbourne. In this role he was responsible for the Bank of Melbourne’s integration with theWestpacBanking group. Slatter has also held general management positions at Westpac, Lloyds TSB and the National Bank of New Zealand.
During his six years with Westpac, Slatter played a leading role in the bank’s acquisition strategy, which resulted in its purchase of the Challenge Bank, the Trust Bank of New Zealand as well as the Bank of Melbourne.
Chairman of Tabcorp Michael Robinson says the group’s current chief executive officer and managing director Ross Wilson will leave Tabcorp at the end of next month.
Tabcorp finance director David Simpson will serve as acting chief executive officer and managing director until Slatter joins the group.
