The board of BCCM member the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) has announced the resignation of CEO Mark Degotardi.
“It has been my privilege to serve as COBA’s CEO. Customer owned banking stands out as the strong, ethical, consumer-focused alternative in retail banking and it has been an absolute pleasure to advocate on behalf of the sector,” said Mr Degotardi.
“It is however the right time for me to seek a new challenge, and for COBA to look for fresh perspectives to help the industry to continue to grow.”
COBA Chair Wendy Machin said Mr Degotardi had made a significant contribution to COBA and the sector and would be missed.
COBA will commence a national search for a new CEO immediately, overseen by the Board.
