The firm said Manz will leave at the end of September and her successor will be the subject of a further announcement.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the short time I have worked with Anna,” said Diageo chief financial officer Kathryn Mikells.
“During Anna's time with Diageo her strong leadership has impacted many parts of our finance organisation; including in Ireland, North America, and more recently as finance director, Asia Pacific.”
Mikells said that in her current position, Manz has played a key role in the development and execution of the company’s current strategy.
“This work alongside her passion for our brands, people and business has helped build Diageo's leadership position.
“On behalf of Diageo I would like to thank Anna for the role she has played and wish her the very best for the future,” Mikells added.
