Asian hand for NAB board

National Australia said it selected a new director: Anthony Yuen, 59, will join the board next month.

Yuen worked for 25 years for Bank of America up to the late 1990s. His last job for BOA was head of foreign exchange for Asia.

In 1999 he crossed to National Westminster Bank as Asia Treasurer. His last job with the bank, by then merged with Royal Bank of Scotland, was group managing director, Asia Pacific.
