Stock exchange Chi-X Australia has appointed John Williams to the newly-created role of deputy chief operating officer, effective from 1 February, 2020.
Based in Sydney, Williams would be responsible for execution of the organisation's day-to-day operational business strategy and commitment to excellent customer service.
Williams had over 20 years’ experience working in the capital markets industry and most recently he was head of admissions at the National Stock Exchange of Australia.
