Mr Whiteing first joined CBA in September 2013 to lead the newly-formed architecture and planning team in enterprise services.
Prior to this he was vice president of enterprise systems at BP in the UK and was also a partner of managing consulting and technology services firm Accenture.
CBA chief executive officer Ian Narev said the appointment of Mr Whiteing continues the group’s track record of promoting internal candidates to executive roles.
“David is a highly experienced business and IT executive with a track record of delivering technology and process transformation in many industries, including financial services, both in Australia and overseas,” said Mr Narev.
“David and his technology and operations teams will build on the group’s extensive investments in technology to ensure ongoing innovation for our customers, and continuing productivity, reliability and security.”
