Subhas DeGamia has been named the chief executive officer of India, while Andrew Leong was appointed to the same position in Taiwain.
In India, DeGamia will be responsible for driving ANZ's long-term strategy to become a major foreign bank in the country.
DeGamia began work with ANZ in 1989, particularly with the former ANZ Grindlays business in India.
Leong joins ANZ from Standard Chartered Bank where he was most recently the head of global markets in China. Leong will report to the North East Asian chief Alistair Bulloch.
