ASX CEO and Managing Director, Helen Lofthouse, said: “Jane brings to ASX considerable experience in transforming and reshaping culture and people practices. Her appointment will support us build the capability and culture we need to successfully deliver our new strategy, meet customer and regulator expectations, and support and develop our people.
