Gerard Florian to retire from ANZ
ANZ today announced Gerard Florian has decided to retire as Group Executive Technology & Group Services on 4 August
2025 to pursue a non‐executive career after a 40‐year career in technology.
Mr Florian first joined ANZ in 2017 as Group Executive Technology and has been responsible for driving ANZ’s
technology
strategy as well as building and managing the Group’s technology infrastructure. Before joining ANZ, Mr Florian also served
18 months as an advisor to the Group Board as a member of the ANZ International Technology and Digital Business Advisory
Panel.
ANZ Chief Executive Officer Nuno Matos said: “While I
have only worked with Gerard for a short period of time, he leaves
ANZ having driven important changes through the organisation. Our customer and banker experience is notably better due
to the adoption of cloud services, artificial intelligence and enterprise platforms, championed by Gerard. His focus on making
ANZ an organisation
easier to partner with has been a hallmark of his time at ANZ.
"Gerard can be particularly proud of the work he has done to build diverse teams within technology. He also leaves a lasting
legacy through his sponsorship of our Abilities Network, which strives to improve the employee or
customer experience for
those with a disability," Mr Matos said.
Current ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited Chief Information Officer, Michael Bullock, has been appointed Acting Group
Executive, Technology & Group Services while a global search is undertaken. Mr Florian will assist with a comprehensive
transition.
Having joined ANZ in 2009, Mr
Bullock has significant international Financial Services experience in technology, payments and
operations. Before joining ANZ, he held senior roles at Citi in New York and London and has previously served as Chief
Operations Officer for ANZ in New Zealand and the Pacific and Head of Institutional Operations.
Mr Matos added:
“Michael is a highly experienced technology executive who I know will do an outstanding job leading our
technology function while we conduct a global search for our next technology leader. His work in leading the successful
delivery of the BS11 regulatory project in New Zealand has him well placed to lead
technology during a period where we will
have an intense focus on improving our approach to non‐financial risk."
