Stanhope joins Sovereign with a robust background within the New Zealand financial services industry, most recently holding the position of executive general manager, wealth and insurance, at ASB.

Sovereign chairman Gavin Walker said the organisation was thrilled to have a candidate of Stanhope’s calibre joining the company.

“Nick’s strength of relationships combined with his significant contribution to the Sovereign business while working at ASB, most notably the development of the highly successful Bancassurance channel, made him an outstanding choice for the role.

“He is a proven strategic and results driven leader who will be a huge asset to the organisation. He is delighted to be joining the Sovereign fold to get underway with the exciting opportunities the role will offer.”

Stanhope starts in the role on April 11.
