ING/ANZ in executive head swap
ING Australiahas filled its vacant chief financial officer position with the same executive the previous senior manager in the role replaced after transferring to ANZ Bank in New Zealand.
In what is effectively a job switch, Rob Hayward has been appointed ING Australia chief financial officer after having worked in the same role for ANZ across the Tasman, and replaces Michael Rowland who left ING at the beginning of March to take up Hayward’s role in New Zealand.
However the move did not result in Rowland also assuming Hayward’s chief operating officer title in New Zealand.
Hayward, who will join ING Australia’s board, is responsible for the day to day management of the group’s corporate and financial division, which in turn looks after ING’s financial management, corporate finance and actuarial services and financial accounting and information systems departments.
Prior to his joint executive role in New Zealand Hayward was ANZ head of finance for ANZ in the United Kingdom and Europe.
“Rob has worked in financial services for over twenty years and has a wealth of experience in strategic and operational business planning and implementation covering all aspects of business,” ING chief executive officer, Paul Bedbrook says.
