Bank of Queensland COO appointed Interim CEO

Bank of Queensland Limited (BOQ) has announced that chief operating officer, Anthony Rose, has been appointed as interim chief executive officer following the resignation of Jon Sutton.

BOQ chair, Roger Davis, said the bank was "glad to have someone of the calibre of Anthony to assume the role of Interim CEO" whilst the search for a successor is underway.

He added: "Given Anthony's experience and knowledge of the business, we have no doubt that it will be business as usual during the search period."

Rose, who has 25 years' experience in the financial services industry, joined BOQ as chief financial officer in August 2012 and was appointed to the role of chief operating officer in May 2018. Before joining BOQ, he spent four years as chief financial officer of Suncorp Bank and previously held investment banking roles with both Merrill Lynch and Citigroup.
