Citi nabs Westpac IT chief
(29 November 2017 – Global) Citi has poached Jayne Opperman, formerly Westpac’s head of business integration to lead their technology unit across Asia Pacific Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The appointment follows a 5 months search to lead the bank across the two regions and 17 separate markets.
Following Shamus Weiland’s departure to become the managing director for Citi's North American consumer technology group, the position was filled on an interim basis by Citi’s global head of product development for consumer tech, Sanjeev Mehra.
Opperman will join Citi at the start of 2018, and based out of Singapore.
In a statement, the bank said, "She will also evolve approaches that accelerate progress against each of our five priorities and work closely with each line of business to ensure our continued success as the region’s best digital bank."
Prior to joining Westpac, Opperman worked at the likes of the Commonwealth Bank, Lloyd's in the UK and more recently ANZ Bank. She has also worked at advisory firms KPMG and Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
