Nicola Greer

Nicola Greer's appointment follows the retirements of independent directors Carole Durbin and Anne Blackburn within the past 18 months.

Fidelity Life said she joined at a particularly pivotal time for the business, characterised by regulatory changes, company-wide transformation and, more recently, the challenges posed by Covid-19.

“At a time when our industry is facing significant challenges, Nicola’s expertise will be vital to Fidelity Life. She has a strong track record of being able to identify existing and emerging risks to businesses, then helping them not only manage those risks, but turn them into exciting opportunities,” said Brian Blake, chair of Fidelity Life.

“We’re excited to have Nicola join as she will be a key component to helping us continue to progress our 2025 Winning Aspiration strategy.”

Greer brings significant finance and banking experience to Fidelity Life. Her current governance roles include directorships at South Port and New Zealand Railways Corporation, and she is a member of the New Zealand Markets Disciplinary Tribunal. She is also a past director of Heartland Bank.

Prior to embarking on her governance career, Greer held senior positions at ANZ in New Zealand and Australia and with Citibank and Goldman Sachs in London.
