ANZ names David Green CEO Singapore

ANZ today announced that David Green has been appointed CEO Singapore with additional responsibility for the South East Asia and India region, covering the important markets of Singapore, India, Malaysia and the Philippines.

David is a highly credentialed banker with nearly 30 years’ experience in Institutional Banking across State Bank of South Australia in New Zealand, Bancorp New Zealand and Deutsche Bank in Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney. He will report to Group Executive International, Farhan Faruqui.

“In his capacity as CEO ANZ Singapore, David will continue to grow connectivity with our home markets in Australia and New Zealand, to provide superior service to our clients in the region while continuing to drive returns from our Singaporean business,” said Mr Faruqui.

Since joining ANZ in 2005, David has been responsible for ANZ’s Institutional business in NZ, as well as leading the bank’s wholesale digital strategy from 2015. He has been an Executive Board Member of the New Zealand-China Council since its establishment in 2012, helping to guide the important bilateral trade relationship and contributing to New Zealand’s economic development on behalf of ANZ.

Mr Green will replace outgoing CEO ANZ Singapore Vishnu Shahaney, who will soon be announced in a new role with ANZ after seven years with our Singapore business.

“I want to thank Vishnu for his contribution in his six years as CEO, during which time he has led the transformation of ANZ Singapore into a strong and customer-focused business,” said Mr Faruqui.

“Vishnu has also been instrumental in building the business into one of ANZ’s two regional business headquarters in Asia and cementing our position as the only Australian Qualifying Full Bank in Singapore. We look forward to announcing his next move, pending the grant of regulatory approvals, and to David building upon these many successes in line with ANZ’s commitment to the Singapore market,” said Mr Faruqui.
