ASX Deputy CEO Peter Hiom resigns
ASX today announces that its Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Group Executive Business Development, Peter Hiom, has resigned. He will leave the organisation on July 1, 2021.
Mr Hiom is leaving to further his interest in fintech and blockchain technology. As part of this, he is joining Motive Partners, a global investment firm focused on financial services technology companies, as an Industry Partner.
Executive responsibility for the delivery and governance of ASX’s CHESS replacement project continues with Group Executive Tim Hogben. Tim Hogben has been involved in the project from the start, assuming day-to-day management and oversight when the project transitioned from the design to delivery phase in October last year. The project remains on track for go-live in April 2023.
Departing Deputy CEO, Peter Hiom, said:
“ASX has a long history of innovation in financial markets and it has been a privilege to have been part of its journey. The company is well positioned for the technology-driven opportunities ahead, and I thank our customers and everyone at ASX for their hard work and support over the years. These are exciting times in global financial markets and I look forward to continuing to play a part in shaping the industry’s future.”
Peter Hiom joined ASX in July 2006 following the merger of the Australian Stock Exchange and SFE Corporation where he had responsibility for the business development of the Sydney Futures Exchange and Austraclear. He has a deep understanding of market structure, business processes, product development, distribution and the application of technology in capital markets.
Prior to moving to Australia, Peter Hiom worked for the London International Financial Futures Exchange, where he held a number of management roles within the Business Development and Information Technology divisions.
