MacKenzie will oversee NZ's largest private sector funds management and KiwiSaver provider.
She is due to start in the role, subject to a non-objection from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, in January.
She currently heads Direct Wealth at Jarden and previously was the head of external investments and partnerships with the NZ Super Fund and chair of its Investment Committee. She has also worked for the NZX as head of markets and strategy, and Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse First Boston in the United States.
ANZ New Zealand chief executive Antonia Watson said Mackenzie, who would also sit on ANZ New Zealand’s Leadership Team, brought enormous hands-on investment management experience and governance to the role.
“Fiona Mackenzie will continue to build on the successes of that business at a time of global market uncertainty and changing regulatory, customer and stakeholder expectations.”
Ms Mackenzie also has strong governance experience being a director of Sanford and having been on the boards of Ascot Radiology, the Outward Bound Foundation and the Institute of Finance Professionals.
She has a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws from the University of Otago and an MBA from Columbia University Business School in New York.
