NAB has announced the appointment of Inder Singh as its new Group Chief Financial Officer and Group Executive, Strategy. The announcement was made by Andrew Irvine, NAB’s Group Chief Executive Officer.
“Inder is a seasoned financial services CFO with international and domestic experience and a successful leader focussed on execution to drive results. His appointment clearly adds to the talent in our senior executive ranks at NAB,” Mr Irvine said.
Singh joins NAB from QBE Insurance Group, where he has served as CFO since 2018. He previously worked in investment banking at Deutsche Bank and UBS, both in Australia and overseas, advising on bank strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and capital structures.
“Inder has been working in a highly regulated and complicated sector. He has driven a strong performance focus including investment strategies delivering improved outcomes for the business and been heavily involved in transformation and technology investment and initiatives,” Mr Irvine added.
Singh will start his role at NAB in March 2026. His responsibilities will cover all finance functions as well as overseeing the Strategy and Group Development teams.
“This is the ideal next role for me and I am delighted to be joining NAB to work with Andrew and the broader leadership team,” Mr Singh said.
“NAB’s ambition to be the most customer-centric company in Australia and New Zealand was a major attraction. Banking is a highly competitive industry like insurance where looking after customers has to be the most important consideration.”
Shaun Dooley, who has been acting Group CFO since March 2025, will return to his permanent position as Group Chief Risk Officer when Singh takes up his post. “The depth of our executive team has been demonstrated through Shaun serving so strongly as our Group CFO during the transition phase,” Mr Irvine said.
Singh will be based in Sydney. His appointment is subject to regulatory approvals.
