“Peter is a highly respected leader, both in Australia and internationally. He has a deep understanding of the complex financial and non-financial risks institutions face, and we look forward to the valuable insight he will bring to the Board on both market conduct and the fairness and effectiveness of markets.
We are pleased to welcome him to the FMSB Limited Board, adding an international dimension and touchpoint for FMSB in APAC, a region where a number of FMSB Members are based and where other Members have significant operations.”
Peter Warne said:
“FMSB has proven itself a global force in shaping respected, practical industry Standards and Good Practice in areas where it’s vital that industry leads. Its output is valued by firms and regulators alike across the world. I look forward to working with Jonathan and the wider FMSB Limited Board and further expanding the organisation’s international reach and influence for the benefit of all market participants.”
Peter will join the FMSB Limited Board as a Non-Executive Director on 1 August 2025.
