Resignations in the news
Westpac loses another top exec as Lyn Cobley retires
Westpac has suffered its third senior executive departure in less than a fortnight, leaving chief executive Peter King with vacancies in crucial management roles, after the surprise exit of institutional boss Lyn Cobley.
As the country's oldest bank works through a period of change in its top management ranks, Ms Cobley on Friday said she intended to step back from executive jobs and pursue other positions, including as a board director.
The departure of Ms Cobley, who has been in banking for more than three decades, means that three of the most senior roles in the bank, all of which report directly to newly-installed chief executive Peter King, are set to be vacant.
Last week Westpac's head of retail banking David Lindberg, who had been seen as a potential future CEO, and chief information officer Craig Bright, both announced they were leaving to work for United Kingdom banking giants.
Mr King paid credit to Ms Cobley's leadership of the institutional bank, which deals with very large clients such as corporations and governments, during a period of change following the global financial crisis and the market chaos sparked by coronavirus.
"Under Lyn's leadership the Westpac Institutional Bank team has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of the bank's government, corporate and institutional customers, most particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic," Mr King said.
Ms Cobley said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed a long and varied banking career. However, having held executive positions through a number of significant events, including the GFC and this year the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now time to step back and develop a portfolio career, including board positions."
The institutional division led by Ms Cobley featured in last year's explosive lawsuit against Westpac involving 23 million anti-money laundering breaches, including failures to adequately monitor highly suspicious patterns that may have financed child exploitation.
The bank is carrying out an accountability review into the scandal, as it tries to broker a settlement with AUSTRAC.

Former One Nation stalwart Jim Savage fires parting shots in resignation letter
Former One Nation Queensland president Jim Savage has resigned from the party, but not without taking some parting shots at leader Pauline Hanson and political adviser James Ashby.
Mr Savage joined the party in 1997 and served as state president for 11 years. He made the headlines last year, when he was one of half a dozen members denied entry to the party's annual general meeting (AGM), an act which he claimed was in violation the party's own constitution.
That incident convinced him to bring his association with the party to an end, and submit his resignation letter. In that document, he accuses the decision makers of abandoning the member's values as well as lacking transparency and loyalty.
Among his criticisms of Ms Hanson were claims she almost bankrupted the party paying private legal fees, refused to present a treasurer's report, auditor's report or secretary's report at 2019 AGM, and that she ran 'ghost candidates' the party executives were not aware of in federal elections.
Changing of rules to allow Senator Hanson to be named party president for life in 2018 also irked Mr Savage, and he said her control over proceedings had become too significant.
"I am leaving the party with much regret for the golden opportunity lost, thanks largely to you [Ms Hanson] and James Ashby, ably assisted by your new 'paid for' submissive unelected executive, having trashed the values and standards set by so many good people over the last 20 odd years," Mr Savage stated in the resignation letter.
"No longer do we have a volunteer executive, all are directly or indirectly on your payroll, hence you control them."
However, his biggest critique was reserved for Mr Ashby and in particular his role in the infamous blunder in which One Nation were caught attempting to gain foreign donations from the American National Rifle Association (NRA).
Mr Savage described the incident as an "embarrassment to every Australian", and then lambasted the party leader's comments at the time, when she said they had never taken foreign donations.
He states this is untrue, and they had previously received between $5000 and $10,000 from a Singaporean woman.
"Again you are either deliberately not telling the truth or are grossly uninformed of your own party," he wrote.
