ASX today announced the appointment of Leanne McDougall as its interim Chief Risk Officer, commencing in the role later this month.

Ms McDougall has more than 30 years’ experience in financial services in Australia and the United States. She was most recently the Chief Risk Officer of Suncorp Bank with responsibility for governance and management of all risk types. Prior to Suncorp Bank, Ms McDougall held a number of senior and executive roles in risk management at National Australia Bank and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

The appointment follows the decision of current ASX Chief Risk Officer, Hamish Treleaven, to retire. Mr Treleaven’s intention to retire was announced in September 2024 and he will depart ASX following a short period of transition to Ms McDougall.

Ms McDougall, who will commence at ASX on Monday 18 November, will report directly to the ASX CEO and join the Executive Team.
