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

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.
