HBOS Australia has hired a chief executive for its wealth and insurance arm, St Andrew's Australia.
The wealth and insurance arm of HBOS Australia, St Andrew's Australia, has appointed Adrian Hondros as its chief executive.
Hondros joins from NAB's private bank where he was general manager.
His appointment comes just months after the previous chief executive, John Van Der Wielen, moved to the United Kingdom to become director of HBOS's insurance and investment division.
Hondros has also had spells with National Mutual Life Association, planning company Godfrey Pembroke, where he was managing director, MLC Wealth Management and NAB Financial Planning.
HBOS Australia chief executive David Willis said Hondros' appointment marked the next step in HBOS Australia's growth.
"We have set a solid foundation with a combination of organic growth through our BankWest branches and other financial partners, and through strategic acquisitions such as RACV Financial Services in Victoria in 2005 and Whittaker Macnaught earlier this year," he said.
Hondros will start at St Andrew's Australia in March.
