Shane Smith has been appointed the new Chief Executive for Westpac Fiji.

Smith started his banking career straight from school as a Customer Service Officer for Westpac Fiji in Suva.

Since then he has worked across several areas of the Westpac Group including banking, IT, operations and later in executive roles.
