Gym, not boardrooms, next for outgoing ANZ boss Shayne Elliott
Elliott exits the bank with no plans for another executive role or board seats, while reflecting on major achievements and some missteps in his tenure.
Shayne Elliott plans to amp up his gym routine after signing off as ANZ CEO, ending more than nine years in the top job and 16 years at the bank.
But beyond this weekend, Elliott says he is unlikely to pursue another executive career and has little interest in joining boards.
“I’m tied to ANZ until September, to be called upon if needed, and I have a few things to do at the bank,” he told Capital Brief after delivering his final result — half-year earnings boosted by one of his biggest achievements, the acquisition of Suncorp Bank.
“I’m leading a delegation to Singapore and Malaysia in June with DFAT and I've got a few speaking engagements. I've had a few phone calls about things I might like to be interested in helping.”
