Judith Fox
JUDITH FOX
Stockbrokers and Financial Advisers Association Ltd - Chief Executive Officer
APPOINTMENT
STOCKBROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS ASSOCIATION LTD
Date: August 2019
Position: Chief Executive Officer

The Stockbrokers and Financial Advisers Association (SAFAA) has announced the appointment of Judith Fox as its incoming chief executive.

Fox will succeed Andrew Green who is stepping down at the end of August 2019 after four years in the role. Fox is currently CEO of the Australian Shareholders Association (ASA), a role she has held since February 2017.

Prior to joining the ASA, Fox spent ten years with the Governance Institute of Australia as national director, policy & advocacy. She has been a member of the ASX Corporate Governance Council since 2005, and has also served on Standards Australia's Risk Management Committee, ASIC's Business Advisory Committee and the Business Reporting Leaders Forum. She is also a published author with one of her novels, Bracelet Honeymyrtle, being shortlisted for the Miles Franklin.

Green said of his successor: "Judith is smart and articulate and ideally placed to lead the Association into the future. This became evident during our campaign against the Federal Opposition's proposed changes to franking credits, as the ASA under Judith's leadership joined the Alliance for a Fairer Retirement."
