Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn has announced changes to the bank’s executive team as part of the ongoing effort to earn back customer trust.

Upon the retirement of Anna Lenahan, group general counsel and executive group corporate affairs, the bank reviewed the responsibilities of the role and decided that the structure could be improved. 

“With our focus on earning trust and restoring the reputation of the Commonwealth Bank, we have decided to separate the role," explained Comyn. 

"In addition to a Group General Counsel and Governance, we are creating the new role of Group Executive Marketing and Corporate Affairs to allow for greater focus on how we engage with our customers, stakeholders, and the broader community," he added. 

Both roles will report directly to the CEO. 

Following an extensive search, Priscilla Sims Brown has been appointed to the role of group executive marketing and corporate affairs, effective 1 August 2019.
