APRA announces executive appointments
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has announced the senior executive appointments of Keith Chapman and Helen Rowell.
Chapman has been appointed to the role of executive general manager of the Diversified Institutional Division, which is responsible for the prudential supervision of over 250 financial institutions. He will replace Wayne Byres, who has recently been appointed secretary general of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Switzerland.
Chapman was previously executive general manager of the Supervisory Support Division. He joined APRA at its establishment in 1998, and before that he was deputy commissioner for superannuation at the Insurance and Superannuation Commission.
Helen Rowell will replace Chapman as the executive general manager of the Supervisory Support Division, which provides support to APRA's frontline prudential supervisory areas. The division also includes APRA's enforcement unit.
Rowell is currently APRA's general manager of policy development. Before her time at APRA, Rowell was a partner at Towers Perrin - and before that a fellow and a past president of the Supervision of Financial Conglomerates.
