MELBOURNE, April 25, 2026, 08:03 (AEST)<\/p>\n

ANZ Group Holdings Limited has hired Kai Yang from HSBC as its first chief data and AI officer, creating a new senior role as Chief Executive Nuno Matos tries to push the bank faster on technology, risk and execution. Yang will join in Sydney in July after relocating from Hong Kong, where he worked as HSBC\u2019s chief data and analytics officer for Asia and the Middle East. <\/p>\n

The appointment matters now because artificial intelligence \u2014 software used to analyse data, automate tasks or recommend decisions \u2014 is moving deeper into lending, fraud detection, trading and marketing at major banks.

He will report to group chief information officer Donald Patra, another former HSBC executive who joined ANZ last year. <\/p>\n

The hire is another sign of Matos drawing on HSBC\u2019s senior ranks. Matos joined ANZ as CEO in May 2025 after a career that included running HSBC\u2019s wealth and personal banking business from Hong Kong. <\/p>\n

Matos also used a staff note published on Friday to recast ANZ\u2019s corporate values, writing that the bank must stop accepting a \u201cgood news culture\u201d where problems are not raised early. He said ANZ needed to \u201cact early \u2014 and with urgency\u201d if something could cause…<\/p>\n
