ANZ has hired its first ever chief data and AI officer, poaching another senior executive from Nuno Matos’ former employer HSBC as the Australian bank looks to close its technology gap with rivals.
Capital Brief can reveal ANZ has recruited Kai Yang to take on the newly created role, moving across from HSBC where he is the chief data and analytics officer for Asia and the Middle East.
Currently based in Hong Kong, Yang will move to Sydney when he joins in July to spearhead ANZ’s AI agenda.
Confirming the appointment, an ANZ spokesperson said Yang will accelerate the bank’s responsible use of the technology throughout the enterprise as it looks to deliver better outcomes for customers.
