Banking is in my opinion the most important job in the economy.

We give income to people at or near the end of their careers when they have savings.

We help people fund the acquisition of assets like houses and cars. Some of the most important and expensive assets they will ever own.

We help everyone make and receive payments, we literally see the economy pass through the accounts we offer.

Investment bankers help people and firms make complex decisions about all sorts of assets.

I joined a predecessor of FINSIA over 30 years ago; became a Senior Fellow of that organisation and a Chartered Banker about 6 years ago.

In 2022 I helped Armillary and Toa Rangatira win the Debt deal of the Year.

But by joining this challenge - today - I’ve managed to get to the apex of Banking in NZ.
