Commonwealth Bank of Australia Chief Executive Officer Matt Comyn today announced changes to the bank’s Executive Leadership Team.
Victoria Ledda has been appointed Group Chief Information Officer and Rodrigo Castillo has been appointed Group Chief Technology Officer, effective from 1 July 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
The appointments reflect the scale, importance and ambition of CBA’s technology agenda. As digital, data and AI capabilities become more central to customer experience, operational resilience and the future of banking, CBA is creating two executive technology roles with clear accountability for delivery.
Mr Comyn said: “Technology is central to CBA’s strategy and to the experiences we provide for our customers. The pace of change in technology and AI means we need focused, hands-on leadership across both business-aligned technology delivery and the enterprise technology foundations that support the Group.
“Victoria and Rodrigo bring complementary strengths and this model is designed to help CBA accelerate technology delivery, strengthen accountability and reflects CBA’s continued focus on delivering safe, resilient and reliable technology for customers.”
As Group Chief Information Officer, Ms Ledda will lead business-aligned technology strategy and delivery across the Group. As Group Chief Technology Officer, Mr Castillo will lead the enterprise technology foundations, engineering, security and AI capabilities that support the bank.
Victoria joined CBA in 2021 and has held senior technology leadership roles including Executive General Manager, Institutional Banking & Markets Technology and Executive General Manager, Retail Technology. Prior to joining CBA, Victoria spent 15 years at Goldman Sachs, where she held senior engineering and technology leadership roles across London, New York and Sydney.
Rodrigo has been with CBA since in 2023 as Chief Technology Officer. Prior to joining CBA, Rodrigo held senior Chief Information Officer and Managing Director roles at HSBC, where he led major digital transformation and technology modernisation programs across international markets.
Mr Comyn said: “These appointments reflect the depth of technology talent within CBA and our continued focus on delivering better, safer and more resilient technology for customers.”
