ANZ officially secures former CEO
(31 March 2010 – Asia) ANZ has officially nabbed Citigroup’s CEO of South Asia, Mark Robinson, to head up its south and South-East Asian operations.
The big four bank announced that Mr Robinson had been appointed to the position of chief executive officer of the region, which includes Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Singapore and Malaysia.
The appointment comes only days after Australian CEO Mike Smith said that the group would be investing up to US$100 million (A$110 million) into Indonesia; adding that it is one of ANZ’s most important markets as part of its objective to become a super regional bank.
Alex Thursby, chief executive office, Asia Pacific and America, said that ANZ is pleased to bring someone of Mr Robinson’s calibre into the team at a time when the bank is growing organically as well as working to complete the acquisition and integration of the Royal Bank of Scotland businesses in a number of key markets in South and South East Asia.
