Ian Park takes on role of Acting CEO
Chief Executive of ASB, Charles Pink, has resigned for personal reasons, and will be leaving the Bank following a scheduled board meeting on November 2.
Chief Executive Retail Banking, Ian Park, will take up the role of acting CEO until a permanent replacement is announced.

“Charles has provided the Bank with outstanding leadership over the past two years, and his legacy is a clear strategic direction, a strong leadership team and soundly performing Bank.”
Mr Judd said Mr Pink had advised the board of his decision to resign in early September, and had agreed to its request to delay an announcement while it considered the steps it wished to take with respect to appointment of a replacement.
