Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) has appointed Peter Davis as chief executive in Japan.
Davis was previously ANZ global head of utilities and infrastructure.
He will report to ANZ Asia chief executive Gilles Planté.
"With his extensive institutional banking experience and broad knowledge of the global infrastructure market, Peter is exceptionally well qualified to lead our team in Japan," Planté said.
"ANZ is committed to growing its business in Japan to support the domestic requirements of our Japanese customers, including financial institutions and multinational corporations, and connecting them to our network and expertise across Asia-Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America."
Davis replaces Robert Bell, who was recently appointed as ANZ head of super regional business development for the bank's commercial business in Melbourne. Davis will take up his new role from 1 May, based in Tokyo.
ANZ head of personal banking Hideo Uenishi has been acting ANZ chief executive in Japan since February.
Before joining ANZ in 1999, Davis spent 10 years with Credit Lyonnais in Asia and Australia, including leading its project and asset finance business in China.
