View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I joined ANZ in 2014 as the CEO for International Banking, based in Hong Kong. I was excited by the chance to work for a bank with a genuine growth story in Asia and strong home markets in Australia and New Zealand. At ANZ I led the team of country CEOs across 19 markets in Asia, Europe, Middle East and the US. I'm currently the Chief Financial Officer responsible for Treasury, Finance, Investor Relations and Mergers & Acquisitions. Prior to joining ANZ, I was Head of Corporate & Investment Banking, AsiaPacific at Citigroup from 2009-2014. During my time at Citi I also led teams in emerging markets across the Middle East & Africa, Central Europe and Asia before moving to Hong Kong to head up Citi’s Global Loans and Leveraged Finance team for Asia Pacific. I believe in leading by example and creating a transparent workplace culture where people feel they are valued.
