The major bank has announced the appointment of a new chief information security officer and a new board member.

ANZ has announced Maria Milosavljevic has been appointed chief information security officer (CISO), reporting to group executive technology and group services, Gerard Florian. In addition, the chairman of the ANZ Group, Paul O'Sullivan, announced Holly Kramer will join the boards of ANZ on 1 August 2023 as a non-executive director.

Dr Milosavljevic joins ANZ from the Australian government where she currently holds the role of the inaugural chief data integration officer at the Department of Defence where she helps build data and AI capabilities.

In her new role, Dr Milosavljevic will be responsible for ensuring the major bank’s information security strategy continues to address the current cyber security landscape while supporting ANZ’s digital transformation.

Dr Milosavljevic will commence with her new role at ANZ on Monday 28 August 2023.

On her appointment, Mr Florian said: “Maria is an outstanding and innovative leader and expert in cyber security, with a breadth of experience across data and security in both government and the private sector.

“She has a track record of building and running cyber, data and analytics operations and brings to ANZ wide and deep connections with the cyber security community locally and internationally. Maria’s experience will be invaluable in continuing to protect both ANZ and our customers.”

Meanwhile, Ms Kramer enters her new role as an experienced non-executive director, previously serving on a range of major listed and unlisted boards across Australia and New Zealand.

Her current roles included director at Woolworths Group, Fonterra Co-op Limited, and Endeavour Group. Prior to this, Ms Kramer held roles as chair of Lendi Group, deputy chair of Australia Post and director of AMP Limited, and Nine Group.

She was also the chief executive of Best and Less and served in a range of customer-facing roles at Telstra, Ford, and Pacific Brands.

Mr O'Sullivan commented on Ms Kramer’s appointment: “I am very pleased to have Holly join the Boards. She has extensive experience as a board director, having chaired remuneration, sustainability, and audit and risk committees on a range of major boards.

“She also brings a strong focus on people, customers and culture, as well as extensive experience in retail and digital channels. I am sure she will make a significant contribution to the boards.”

Ms Kramer will stand for election at the next ANZ annual general meeting on 21 December 2023.
