Senior appointments at ANZ
ANZ today announced changes to its Executive Committee to help accelerate both the transformation of the Group as well as the development of common business services across ANZ.
- Gerard Florian’s role has been expanded to include Group Services where he will be responsible for the design and governance of ANZ’s enterprise-wide business services. For now, these include payments, retail and wholesale credit and ‘Know your customer’ processes. As Group Executive Technology & Group Services, Mr Florian will maintain accountability for ANZ’S technology operation and will continue to report to ANZ Chief Executive Officer Shayne Elliott.
- Antony Strong will join the Executive Committee as Group Executive Strategy and Transformation. Mr Strong, who has led Group Strategy since 2012, will take on expanded accountability to coordinate and drive the ongoing transformation of ANZ. This includes driving further productivity across the Group, delivering enterprise-wide benefits from Cloud migration and Enterprise Business Services as well as having responsibility for delivering customer benefits from ANZ’s 1835i investment portfolio. Mr Strong will continue to report to Shayne Elliott.
Mr Elliott said: “Both Gerard and Antony are experienced executives who will continue to play a critical role in ANZ’s transformation while also ensuring we remain intently focussed on our strategic priorities.
“As we enter a new phase of development and growth, it makes sense to elevate the role of strategy and transformation within the bank, and there is an even greater need for a coordinated approach to shared business services available to all divisions within the bank,” Mr Elliott said.
These changes are effective 1 November 2022.
