Dear Member,
The SBS Board would like to formally advise the appointment of Mark McLean to the role of SBS Group CEO following the recent resignation of Shaun Drylie.
Mark has been a member of the SBS team for over ten years, over this time he has held the roles of Chief Risk Officer, Acting Interim CEO and most recently has headed up the Branch Network, Contact Centre, Marketing and Customer Insight divisions as General Manager Member Experience as well as sitting on the board of SBS Bank’s subsidiary company, Finance Now Ltd.
As a long-serving member of the Executive team, Mark has been heavily involved in developing and delivering our strategy. His appointment will ensure we have continuity moving forward and that we do not lose any momentum.
Originally from Southland, Mark is a well-respected member of the community in both Southland and Otago. He brings a wealth of business experience and knowledge through his working career prior to SBS, including international banking leadership roles in Europe and Asia.
Mark has an undeniable passion for SBS, he believes strongly that member ownership is important and that being a mutual sets us apart. We believe Mark is a real asset to the organisation and have every confidence that his leadership will ensure the continued growth and success of the SBS Group into the future.
I am sure you will join me in congratulating Mark on his new role as Group CEO.
Kind Regards
Joe O'Connell
SBS Chairman
