Elders has announced the appointment of a new leader, Brendan Rinaldi, to oversee the operations of Elders Victoria and Riverina region.
Mr Rinaldi comes from 17 years of experience in the finance industry, most recently as an executive with ANZ Banking Group Ltd, leading its Corporate and Institutional Health business. Before this role he held a range of leadership roles in risk, agribusiness and commercial lending and was previously the State General Manager for Business Banking in South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Mr Rinaldi’s agricultural experience extends to his own upbringing on a mixed farming and irrigation property in the Southern Riverina, which he currently co-owns. He feels passionately about the farming sector and supporting rural communities.
“Elders has a strong brand that I’ve grown up with and admired for many years. It’s evident there’s a good culture across the organisation and I’m grateful to now be a part of it to support and help grow Elders’ people and customers and strengthen our service.” said Mr Rinaldi.
Executive GM Network, Tom Russo, said that Mr Rinaldi is a welcome appointment who will bring significant value to the role.
“Brendan is a well-regarded leader of people with a passion for building and developing teams,” said Mr Russo.
“His strong advocacy for rural health and wellbeing and community contribution will serve him well in his new role to strengthen Elders throughout the Victoria and Riverina regions,” said Mr Russo.
