“I am pleased to announce each of these new appointments which are testament to the strong talent at ASIC while at the same time reflective of the need for renewal,” said ASIC CEO Warren Day. “The economy and broader environment in which ASIC operates is constantly shifting and we are evolving to meet those challenges. These appointments bring us closer to finalising the implementation of ASIC's new organisational structure.”
