Appointment of Chief Executive, Consumer


Westpac today announced the appointment of Carolyn McCann to the position of Chief

Executive, Consumer, effective immediately.


Ms McCann brings almost thirty years of corporate experience, including two decades in

the banking and insurance industries and more than a decade at Westpac. She has been

Acting Chief Executive, Consumer since 12 May 2025. Previously, she was Group

Executive, Customer and Corporate Services, responsible for Westpac’s operations,

scams and fraud prevention, customer collections and hardship, property resilience,

corporate affairs and marketing.


“Carolyn is an outstanding executive and I’ve seen firsthand her ability to engage and

galvanise high-performing teams to deliver results,” said Westpac CEO Anthony Miller.


“Under Carolyn’s leadership, Westpac’s operations teams have dramatically improved

customer outcomes, including mortgage processes, where decision times have been

reduced from twelve to five days. Scam protection has been significantly upgraded with

market leading solutions reducing losses by 40 per cent, and complaints handling

processes have been transformed.


“Carolyn has brought these outstanding leadership skills to the Consumer role, where she

leads a team of highly experienced retail banking executives as well as our superb

employees across the country. Carolyn’s drive, vision and determination will be an asset

to the bank in this role.


“With the right mix of experience, professionalism, teamwork and energy, we now have

the team in place to lead Westpac and I’m excited for what we can achieve together.”
