RBNZ Governor Christian Hawkesby says Simone has made an incredible contribution to Te Pūtea Matua, growing and delivering a function that plays a crucial role for the RBNZ achieving its mandate.
"Simone's many achievements include overseeing the Reserve Bank Act implementation, embedding more diverse thought into our ways of working, uplifting the Council of Financial Regulators (CoFR), and building out the key functions that play a crucial role for us achieving so much as a central bank."
Simone, who joined RBNZ in 2019, says now is the right time to explore other opportunities.
"It's been an incredible privilege to lead in this organisation, and work alongside such talented, passionate and capable people. I fully support RBNZ's direction of travel under Christian's leadership as Governor, but the time is right for me to explore other opportunities."
