Marshall, who was most recently CEO of Ultradata, brings over 35 years of experience in the Australian banking sector. He has previously held leadership roles at Defence Bank and Hume Bank and has also served in senior executive positions at both the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and Westpac.
“David’s deep understanding of customer-owned banking and his extensive experience in the fast-paced world of technology made him a natural choice to lead our bank as we continue to expand our commitment to deliver meaningful financial wellbeing to families and communities across Australia,” said Sam Andersen, chair of Beyond Bank.
“We welcome him and look forward to his stewardship at the helm of one of Australia’s most trusted customer-owned banks.”
Currently based in Melbourne, Marshall will relocate to Adelaide to oversee Beyond Bank’s national metropolitan and regional network.
“I am thrilled to join Beyond Bank as I have long admired its strong community credentials and the impact it has in those communities and the people who are part of those communities,” Marshall said.
“As a full-service bank with a growing national presence, Beyond Bank is well placed to fill the gap being left by the major banks, and I am relishing the opportunity to work with the team to maintain the strong momentum we have in powering those communities and building capabilities to ensure Beyond Bank provides best relationship bank service to its customers.”
Marshall will commence his role on 26 March 2025, taking over from interim CEO Wayne Matters.
In addition to the CEO appointment, Beyond Bank has announced the appointment of Cindy Batchelor to the bank’s board, effective 1 February 2025.
Batchelor brings more than 30 years of banking experience to the role and is also the current chair of the board of Auto and General Insurance Company and the Victorian chapter chair of Chief Executive Women.
“We are extremely pleased to have Cindy join our Board,” Andersen said.
“Her skills and experience will add to the diversity and depth of our existing Board composition and ensure Beyond Bank’s board remains well equipped to govern a financial services business of the size and complexity of our bank.”
Batchelor’s expertise spans business banking, community engagement, thought leadership, and strategic risk management, making her a valuable addition to Beyond Bank’s leadership team.
