Executive Appointment: Rabobank NZ’s Todd Charteris; the country boy banker

Todd Charteris is a practical man. When Rabobank was moving its head office from Wellington to Hamilton in 2021, he had a challenge on his hands.

The bank – which operates in the rural and agribusiness sector – wanted wool carpet in the new offices. No ordinary carpet would do – it had to be pure New Zealand wool. But Charteris went one step further.

“We went and – through a third party – purchased wool of three of our clients and had the carpet made.”
