Google Australia managing director Maile Carnegie is leaving the technology giant for ANZ. Joining in July as group executive digital banking, she will report to CEO Shayne Elliott.
Carnegie’s role will include liaison with Australia’s fintech sector. ANZ says she "will lead the strategic development and delivery of a superior digital experience for the bank’s eight million retail, commercial and institutional customers as well as for its staff". This includes digital projects, innovation and strategic relationships with the fintech sector.
"Reflecting digital’s importance to ANZ’s performance, Maile will also have shared responsibility for the financial results of the bank’s Australian and New Zealand divisions," ANZ said.
In a statement, Elliott said: "Part of Maile’s role will also be to shift our thinking and champion a group-wide innovation culture at ANZ based on developing and attracting service-focused, technology-literate, innovative and experimental people and teams. This includes being the sponsor of a new Digital Business Transformation Leadership Program created jointly by ANZ and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"I am incredibly pleased to have Maile join us. Her experience at Google, her track record in building brands and business in Australia and in Asia, and her leadership skills make her uniquely qualified to lead ANZ’s digital transformation."
