Booster gets new CEO

Booster has appointed Di Papadopoulos as its new chief executive as the company continues its strategy to bring in a new generation of leadership.

Papadopoulos, who is currently Booster’s Chief Customer Officer, will be responsible for managing the funds management business, including Booster’s innovative Savvy debit card.

Booster founder Allan Yeo will continue as group managing director, focused on strategy and Booster’s wider business interests.

Yeo says the new appointment is part of Booster’s multi-year plan to transition key leadership positions.

“It’s very satisfying to watch the next generation taking the reins. We have built a very capable team, and Di is a standout leader, who I have every confidence in to successfully take Booster into the future,” he says.

Papadopoulos will clock over 10 years at Booster in July.  Prior to that she held a senior management role at BP Oil.

Di Papadopoulos says she’s excited to be taking on the new role.

“Booster has a long history of helping Kiwis meet their financial goals. I’m looking forward to leading our team through the next chapter,” she says.

Booster has supported Kiwis to build their financial resilience for over 25 years and firmly believes in the role of quality financial advice.

“At Booster we know what a great privilege it is to look after people’s money. I’m incredibly conscious of that and the team know I will be relentless at continuing to put our customers at the centre of everything we do,” Papadopoulos says.

Papadopoulos steps into the new role on March 17.
