National Australia Bank chief executive Ross McEwan will depart in April and be replaced by Andrew Irvine, currently head of business banking. NAB said Mr McEwan will retire from executive roles.

He will start on April 2, after succeeding in an internal battle with Rachel Slade, who runs NAB’s retail operations, and external candidates examined by the board.

NAB chairman Phil Chronican said Mr Irvine, 48, who arrived in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic from senior banking roles in Canada, was “well suited to take NAB into its next chapter of growth and performance”. ANZ chief executive Shayne Elliott and Westpac chief executive Peter King are also expected to exit this year, triggering internal battles for successio
