No. 35
As General Counsel and Company Secretary for ANZ Bank New Zealand, overseeing the legal and corporate governance framework for the country’s largest bank, David Bricklebank’s position on the list reflects his sway over legal affairs.
His role places him at the centre of complex regulatory, conduct and governance demands, including the class action case against the bank, guiding ANZ through escalating prudential and consumer regulation while enabling commercial growth.
He leads a major in‑house legal function that must anticipate and manage “tsunamis” of reform, board‑level risk and public scrutiny in areas like banking competition, culture and “bankflation”.
