CBA appoints new group chief financial officer


Current Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) group executive for international financial services, Rob Jesudason, is taking on the role of group chief financial officer, taking the baton from David Craig who will be retiring at the end of the financial year.
Jesadason had joined CBA in 2011 in the position of head of strategy, and had been based in Hong Kong since 2014 in his position as executive of international financial services.
CBA chief executive, Ian Narev, said the promotion of Jesadason came after a thorough search to fill Craig’s position.
“We are pleased to appoint Rob following a global search. He has made a strong contribution over more than five years at CBA,” he said.
“He has worked alongside financial institutions across the world, and has an acute sense of the rapidly moving economic, regulatory and competitive landscape.”
CBA had not yet announced a successor to the group executive of international financial services position.
