ASX announces today that David Clarke joins the ASX Limited Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair Elect, and will assume the role of Chair following the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 28 October 2024.

Current Chair, Damian Roche, confirms he will retire from the ASX Board at the conclusion of the AGM. Mr Roche was re-elected at ASX’s 2023 AGM, and he stated at the time that he would be serving his final term as he focused on board renewal and the transition to a new Chair.

Mr Clarke is a seasoned director having served as Chair of several ASX-listed Boards, and he has also had an extensive executive career spanning senior management and CEO roles in banking, commercial property and funds management.

Mr Clarke, whose appointment is effective immediately, will stand for election at the AGM and expects to reduce his existing professional commitments over time.
