ANZ chairman Paul O’Sullivan said Mr Smith would divide his time between Australia and the United States.
“Jeff’s vast experience with technology and executive management will complement the board, and I am confident he will provide valuable service to both the organisation and to ANZ’s shareholders as we continue through a period of significant transformation,” Mr O’Sullivan said.
Mr Smith will step down as chief operating officer for World Fuel Services Corporation at the end of 2022. He is a non-executive director of Sonrai Security and is an advisor to the boards of Zoom and Box. He was previously a member of ANZ’s International Technology and Digital Business Advisory Panel until 2019.
Mr Smith will stand for election at ANZ’s annual general meeting on December 15.
