Reporting to head of RBS Australia Andrew Chick, Houstone will join the Australia branch's senior leadership team.
In another senior management shuffle, Gwen Greenberg will step into the position of head of corporate debt capital markets.
Working at RBS for the last 10 years, she previously held investment banking and debt capital market roles in New York.
