Dr Pamela Hanrahan has been confirmed as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s (ASIC’s) newly appointed regional commissioner for Queensland. She succeeds Maree Blake, who has held the post since 2008.

Hanrahan joined ASIC in November 2008 as senior executive leader for investment managers, and was responsible for the regulation of Australia’s managed investments sector. Prior to that, she was deputy director of the Centre for Corporate Law and Securities Regulation at the University of Melbourne and also worked as a senior lawyer in private practice with Allens Arthur Robinson.

The announcement follows a restructuring shake up at ASIC and comes not long after Delia Rickard took on responsibility for the supervision of financial advisers in addition to her post as senior executive leader for financial literacy, consumers and retail investors. Further changes saw Gerard Fitzpatrick take control of the newly merged portfolio for investment managers and superannuation funds.
