Greer steps down as Loan Market NZ CEO

Loan Market confirmed its New Zealand boss is to leave his role in the coming months. Greer will remain part of the wider Loan Market/NZFSG group after he steps down.

Greer resigned from his role as he plans to spend more time with his family, and running his adviser business in Dunedin.

The departure was announced to Loan Market members in recent days.

Brendon Smith, CEO of NZFSG, said Greer would remain in his post until Loan Market found a new CEO. The business will consider both internal and external candidates, Smith said. 

"We will get out to market and see who puts their hand up," Smith said. "I expect to see external and internal applications."

Smith said Greer was "committed to staying with Loan Market and running his Dunedin business": "After many years on the road, Brian wants to spend more time in Dunedin, and we respect and support that decision."

Greer will remain a director of NZFSG and will continue to attend board meetings. 

"From time to time we will use Brian's extensive knowledge. He's been a great leader as part of this business, and we won't lose that."
