CBA chief executive Ian Narev today announced the resignation of group executive for enterprise services and chief information officer Michael Harte.
Mr Harte will leave the group in mid-2014 to take up the role of chief operations and technology officer at Barclays Bank in London.
Mr Narev said an announcement regarding Mr Harte's internal replacement would likely be made in June.
“We greatly appreciate Michael’s contribution to our IT strategy which has built a strong team and a pipeline of value-creating technology solutions which will benefit our customers and businesses for years to come,” Mr Narev said.
“During the past eight years Michael has been a valued and energetic member of the group’s executive committee. On behalf of the entire group, we wish Michael all the very best as he pursues the next phase of his career,” he said.
“Technology is a core strategic priority of the group, and I am very pleased that we have a strong pool of internal candidates who will provide strategic continuity, and also lead us through the next phase of our technology and operations innovation, while maintaining ongoing focus on security and resilience,” said Mr Narev.
