Google Australia Boss Maile Carnegie Switches to ANZ Bank

New head of digital.

ANZ Bank has landed a surprise coup in the form of Google’s A/NZ managing director Maile Carnegie, who will take a new role in July championing digital banking and developing an internal innovation culture.

The bank this week named Carnegie its Group Executive Digital Banking, which reports directly into CEO Shayne Elliott.

Carnegie – who had run Google’s A/NZ operations since 2013 – 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,” ANZ said.

“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.”
