Following the success of the Trans–Tasman CEO Series, the Trans–Tasman CIO Series launches with a landmark session featuring Jonathan Gibson, Chief Information Officer, Westpac, and Russell Jones, Chief Information Officer, Westpac New Zealand.

Hosted simultaneously in Sydney and Auckland and linked live across the Tasman, this unique forum will bring together technology leaders from both sides of the ditch to explore how CIOs are driving innovation, resilience, and customer-centric transformation in financial services.

The conversation will examine how Westpac is shaping the future of digital banking through cross-market collaboration, cloud modernisation, data and AI capability, and operational excellence, while navigating global technology trends, security demands, and regulatory complexity.

This off-the-record discussion offers a rare opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and reflect on how technology leadership is enabling the next generation of growth across Australia and New Zealand.
