country officer for several countries in Africa and Europe.
In his new role, Mr Faruqui will have responsibility for all aspects of Finance as well as

Commenting on Mr Faruqui’s appointment Mr Elliott said: “After a comprehensive global
search, I’m pleased to be able to appoint one of our most experienced executives with a
long history of delivering outstanding results in highly-complex environments to this
important leadership position.
“Farhan has played a crucial role in the re-shaping of ANZ’s institutional and international
business as a critical part of our overall franchise. I’m confident his strong fin ancial acumen,
strategic insight and fresh thinking will be of great benefit to our shareholders and our
customers,” Mr Elliott said.
Mr Faruqui said: “I’m humbled to have been asked to lead ANZ’s world-class finance
function. I want to thank the International team for their outstanding effort over the past
few years in reshaping the International business. While I will miss them, I look forward to
being part of their future success, albeit from a different vantage point, as we build on
profitable growth in our target segments across the Bank.”
Mr Faruqui will be based in Melbourne and will commence in the role in October subject to
meeting regulatory requirements. He succeeds Shane Buggle who is retiring as CFO in
October after a distinguished career with ANZ spanning 25 years.
Mr Elliott said: “Having served the bank with distinction in senior finance and audit roles for
more than two decades, Shane has done an outstanding job since stepping in as CFO earlier
this year. He is highly-regarded by our people, particularly his colleagues on the executive
team as well as the Board, and I will personally miss his counsel, strategic insight and good
humour. Shane will retire from the bank after transitioning his responsibilities to Farhan and
I wish him and his family well for the future," Mr Elliott said.
