The news: The ASX has appointed former Paris stock exchange boss Anthony Attia as its next managing director and chief executive, effective 1 September.
The context: Attia served as Euronext Paris CEO from 2014 to 2021. He previously served as senior vice president at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which owns the NYSE, and helped lead the carve-out of Euronext from ICE and its initial public offering in 2014.
Current ASX managing director and CEO Helen Lofthosue will depart the company on 29 May. Interim CEO Darren Yip will support the transition to Attia’s term later this year.
What they said: “Following a comprehensive global search process, the board is delighted to appoint someone of Anthony’s calibre,” said ASX chair David Clarke.
“He brings deep exchange experience coupled with a proven track record of technology-enabled transformation and a clear understanding of the responsibilities that come with leading critical market infrastructure.”
Attia commented: “I am delighted to join ASX at a pivotal moment in its transformation. There is so much potential, and I’m excited to meet everyone at ASX and to engage directly with key stakeholders in Australia’s markets ecosystem.”
