John Brogden departs as FSC CEO



CEO of the Financial Services Council (FSC) John Brogden will be stepping down from his role at the end of the year.
He will take up a new role as CEO and managing director of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) early next year.
Chairman of the FSC Greg Cooper said in his announcement Brogden extended FSC membership to include trustee companies and public trustees, and broadened policy agenda to influence economic policy during his five year tenure as CEO.
“Ensuring bipartisan support for no significant changes to superannuation and creating a financial services trade agenda for Australia - particularly on the Asian Region Funds Passport - are among the many things that John will leave in his legacy,” he said.
The FSC board will begin an executive search process to replace Brogden.
