Reporting directly to the Group Chief Risk Officer, Ryan Zanin, Katryna will lead the 2nd Line Non-Financial Risk function to support Westpac Group in managing operational risk and compliance. This newly created role was a result of a reorganisation to simplify the Group’s risk division. This position will continue to maintain existing commitments to minimise the group’s exposure to risk.

Katryna joins Westpac from Credit Suisse, where she was most recently APAC Wealth Management Chief Compliance Officer. Throughout her career, Katryna has held several senior leadership roles across Europe and Asia with extensive experience in financial services having previously worked for Credit Suisse, JPMorgan, and Bank of America.

Westpac is Australia’s first bank and oldest company, one of four major banking organisations in Australia and one of the largest banks in New Zealand. They provide a broad range of consumer, business and institutional banking, and wealth management services through a portfolio of financial services brands and businesses.
