BOQ appoints internal Chief Risk Officer

Bank of Queensland (BOQ) has announced the appointment of Adam McAnalen, currently chief executive officer of BOQ finance, as the bank's chief risk officer, effective 1 June 2019.

McAnalen joined BOQ in 2002 as an owner-manager and has held a number of senior leadership roles across the risk, BOQ finance, operations and retail banking divisions, including chief risk officer for BOQ business and general manager retail credit. He has also served as a member of the bank's executive credit committee since April 2016.

Interim CEO Anthony Rose said McAnalen's "track record in driving business performance across each of the varied roles he has undertaken and his extensive risk and banking experience positions him well to guide BOQ through the forthcoming industry changes."

McAnalen succeeds Peter Deans, who is retiring after seven years as chief risk officer and a 32-year career in banking.
