Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) has announced two new executive committee appointments, following the decision of its deputy chief executive officer Graham Hodges to retire after 27 years with ANZ.
Alexis George was promoted to deputy chief executive officer in addition to her current role as group executive, Wealth Australia.
George joined ANZ in 2013 as managing director of insurance and has been group executive at Wealth Australia since 2016. In her new role, George will take on responsibility for ANZ’s group service centers and will assist ANZ’s chief executive officer with group-wide initiatives, including ANZ’s engagement with government, regulators and employees.
Mark Hand was appointed as group executive, Australian Business & Private Banking. He will continue to report to group executive, Australia Fred Ohlsson.
Hand has been working with ANZ for 30 years and has held senior roles across business and retail banking, credit management and internal audit in Australia and South Asia.
“With the retirement of Graham Hodges after a long and distinguished career with ANZ, I’m pleased to be able to appoint two executives with broad experience from within to critical roles at an important time in ANZ’s transformation,” says ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott.
The appointments are effective May 15.
