MELBOURNE, Australia--Bendigo & Adelaide Bank Ltd. (BEN.AU), Australia's fifth-largest retail bank, has appointed director Jacqueline Hey to succeed Chairman Robert Johanson when he retires in late October after 13 years in the role.

Before joining Bendigo's board in 2011, Ms. Hey was chief executive in the U.K. and Australia of Swedish telecommunications company Telefon LM AB Ericsson (ERIC). She currently also is a nonexecutive director at Qantas Airways Ltd. (QAN.AU) and utility AGL Energy Ltd. (AGL.AU).

Her appointment comes a day after fellow regional lender Bank of Queensland Ltd. (BOQ.AU) said Chairman Roger Davis would retire in October and be succeeded by Patrick Allaway, who joined the board early this month.
