MILAN (Reuters) – UniCredit has named Ali [Khan,](https://www.financedigest.com/ubss-new-wealth-management-co-leaders-announce-reshuffle.html) a cloud specialist who joins from consultancy PwC, as its new head of digital and information, replacing Jingle Pang, the Italian bank said on Tuesday.

Jingle joined UniCredit in July 2021, a few months after the arrival of new Chief Executive Andrea Orcel. She had played a key role in the [digital](https://www.financedigest.com/citigroups-head-of-digital-assets-for-markets-unit-departs-memo-says.html) transformation of Chinese insurer Ping An.

A year later however, UniCredit hired former [Monte dei Paschi](https://www.financedigest.com/monte-dei-paschis-cash-call-93-covered-so-far-despite-low-shareholder-take-up.html "Monte dei Paschi’s cash call 93% covered so far despite low shareholder take-up") di Siena and Nexi executive Giovanni Damiani as head of digital excellence to act as a deputy to Jingle.

Khan’s knowledge of UniCredit’s current technology and deep expertise in cloud and data will be critical in delivering the next step of the [digital](https://www.financedigest.com/the-transformative-power-of-technology-in-banking-and-finance.html "The Transformative Power of Technology in Banking and Finance") and data transformation,” [UniCredit](https://www.financedigest.com/ecb-unicredit-clash-over-capital-plans-russia-presence-ft-says.html) said in a note, adding the changes would be effective at the end of September.

Banks [around the world](https://www.financedigest.com/what-a-5-note-will-buy-you-around-the-world.html "What a £5 note will buy you around the world") face a major challenge in having to shift their core IT infrastructure, which is made extremely complex by several layers of legacy systems that built up over the years, on to the cloud.
