Bedbrook seeks new challenge
ING Australia chief executive Paul Bedbrook has announced he will be leaving Australia, and the local business, next year to take up the role of regional chief executive of ING Insurance Asia/Pacific.
Based in Hong Kong, Bedbrook’s new role will give him responsibility for Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Malaysia, as well as regional responsibility for bancassurance.
He will also have overall responsibility for ING’s 51 per cent interest in ING Australia, the wealth management joint venture formed in 2002 between ING Group and ANZ Bank.
A replacement is currently being sought, with ING reviewing a shortlist of both offshore ING candidates and local external options.
