The news: The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has appointed Scott Gregson as its new chief executive.
The context: Gregson will join on 17 March 2025 and will replace interim CEO Greg Yanco.
Gregson was most recently CEO of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), where he worked for 30 years and previously served as chief operating officer and in executive general manager roles for mergers and enforcement.
The ACCC said a recruitment process to replace him would begin in due course.
What they said: “‘As ASIC enters the next phase of the program of transformation we began three years ago, Scott’s experience supporting digital and technology delivery, and his pedigree in enforcement and compliance, will continue to ensure ASIC is well placed to meet future challenges,” ASIC chair Joe Longo said.
Gregson said: “The momentum ASIC is showing in its work and impact is very appealing for me.
“In an increasingly complex world with heightened cost of living pressures, the work of ASIC is more important than ever and I look forward to taking the step up and helping ASIC meet the challenges ahead.”
ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said: “This is a great loss for the ACCC and a great gain for ASIC. Scott Gregson has made an enormous contribution in his nearly 30 years at the ACCC, and he will be sincerely missed. Scott carried his enforcement experience in the agency throughout his career here, as a foundation of the strength of the ACCC. He has been an influential leader across a number of roles.”
