Clarke will report to Ian Martin, who heads State Street's global services and global markets business in Australia.
"Louise was part of the original team that helped establish State Street Bank and Trust Company in 1994 as the first US bank to be given an Australian branch licence," Martin said.
"She is the ideal candidate to take on this role at a time of increased regulatory standards and governance."
Clarke's role includes oversight of branch governance arrangements, liquidity and financial position, and risk management.
