Westpac's New Zealand boss Peter Clare has resigned and will leave the company after recent heart surgery.
The bank on Tuesday announced that, following a recent major medical procedure to correct a heart condition, Mr Clare had decided to take an extended break and provide himself with the best opportunity to make a full recovery.
The bank's chief executive Gail Kelly thanked Mr Clare for his contribution to the group since joining Westpac in 2008.
David McLean, the acting Westpac New Zealand CEO, will continue to act in the role while an internal and external search is undertaken for a replacement.
