Reflecting on his tenure, Elliott expressed pride in his contributions: “Leading ANZ over the last nine years has been the highlight of my career. I’m proud to be leaving the bank in such a strong position, particularly the work we have done to simplify the business, transforming institutional into one of the world’s best and preparing our retail bank for the future.” A notable accomplishment under his leadership was the substantial Suncorp Bank acquisition, which he believes will position ANZ advantageously for years.

This next chapter unveils with the introduction of international veteran banker, Nuno Matos, who will officially step into the role on July 3, 2025. As reported by The Nightly, the integration of the ambitious $4.9 billion Suncorp deal is a pivotal task that Matos will oversee, ensuring the merger's success and alignment with ANZ's future goals.

With over three decades of experience in diverse sectors of banking including retail, commercial, and wholesale, Matos brings a rich tapestry of expertise to the table. Previously at HSBC, he managed a vast network of employees totaling 87,000, serving about 40 million customers in 35 global markets.

Matos has long observed ANZ's progress, particularly under Elliott’s guidance. "I’ve long admired ANZ, particularly under the stewardship of Shayne, and it’s an honour to have been chosen by the Board to lead the next phase of ANZ’s evolution," noted Matos. His immediate agenda includes strengthening ongoing initiatives and amplifying the value ANZ provides to its broad array of stakeholders.

This leadership transition marks a significant moment for ANZ, as it sets sights on maintaining momentum and further fortifying its market standing. With Matos’s extensive background in steering large-scale banking operations and Elliott’s blueprint for growth, ANZ stands ready to embrace the impending era.
