What they said: “The pace of change in technology and AI means we need focused, hands-on leadership across both business-aligned technology delivery and the enterprise technology foundations that support the Group,” Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn said.
“Victoria and Rodrigo bring complementary strengths and this model is designed to help CBA accelerate technology delivery, strengthen accountability and reflects CBA’s continued focus on delivering safe, resilient and reliable technology for customers.”
