“Alexandra has a deep understanding of investment strategy and client objectives, and a proven record of delivering investment outcomes," Mr Saadie said.

“Her leadership will be integral as we enhance the breadth and sophistication of our private wealth offering. The appointment reinforces our commitment to outstanding client outcomes through a unique integrated private wealth and banking platform.”

Ms Campbell said it was a privilege to join NAB Private Wealth.

“JBWere has a long and respected history of partnering with clients to build wealth across generations,” she said. It is exciting to have the opportunity to lead the investment strategy for Australia’s oldest and largest advisory firm and support all Private Wealth clients more broadly.

“A disciplined, long-term approach to asset allocation, complemented by tactical opportunities while managing risk, is central in achieving the investment objectives of clients. I am looking forward to delivering client outcomes with this approach.”

Ms Campbell will start her new role in 2026.
