MyState appoints new Managing Director and CEO

Financial services group MyState has announced the appointment of Brett Morgan as its new Managing Director and CEO, who will be succeeding Melos Sulicich.

Morgan is currently the Chief Executive Officer, Banking and Wholesale at ASX-listed BNK Banking Corporation Limited. He is based in Sydney.

Morgan has considerable digital banking experience, having held several key executive roles at ING DIRECT, an Australian digital bank. He worked at ING DIRECT for 15 years, and took on the positions of Executive Director Customers, Executive Director Savings, Executive Director Mortgages, and other senior roles.

In 2012, Morgan was appointed as the Country Head Branch Banking, Marketing and Private Clients at ING Vysya Bank in India, which is 40% owned by ING Group. He directed a shift from product- to customer-led strategy and was responsible for 7,500 staff.

He returned to Australia in late 2014, and commenced key divisional CEO roles at Inloop, an Australian technology company that develops and operates financial technology, data and digital marketplace businesses.

Miles Hampton, Chairman of MyState, said Morgan had been selected after an extensive search that included qualified and experienced banking leaders in Australia and New Zealand.

Morgan will commence his new position at MyState in January 2022.
