Today ASX Managing Director and CEO Helen Lofthouse confirmed that Group Executive Listings Blair Beaton has decided to depart the business following an extended period of personal leave.
Ms Lofthouse said: “Blair was a highly valued member of the ASX leadership team, and we are deeply grateful for his contribution to ASX over the past eight years. His dedication, diligence and enthusiasm were consistently evident in all his engagements, and in more recent times he has been a vocal and passionate advocate for ASX as the nation’s premier listings venue. He leaves with our heartfelt best wishes.”
Mr Beaton joined ASX in 2017 as Chief Strategy Officer and was appointed Group Executive, Listings in August 2022. In leading Listings Mr Beaton was responsible for the origination of listed primary and secondary equity and investment products.
During the time Mr Beaton was on leave, Group Executive Markets Darren Yip had been providing support and oversight of the Listings business. With Mr Beaton now having decided to step down, ASX will bring Listings together with Markets under Mr Yip’s leadership.
This change is effective immediately and we will be working through how best to ensure both businesses are working effectively together.
