The appointment of Jager follows the commencement last week of former Virgin Australia chief experience officer Danielle Keighery, who has joined the bank as chief customer officer. In her new role Keighery will look after brand, marketing, corporate affairs, government relations, customer advocacy and also act as chief of staff to the CEO. As part of this, she will oversee Virgin Money, a fully-owned business that is embarking on a new digital bank launch in 2021.
Both Jager and Keighery will report to managing director and CEO George Frazis who joined BOQ in September 2019.
A Westpac spokesperson said the leadership team and Jager would be working on a replacement and interim head to prepare for her departure in early-to-mid April.
