The Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA) has elected David Cox as its president, succeeding Victoria Weekes who is retiring after serving a maximum term at the financial services membership body.

Cox, a PwC partner with more than 20 years’ experience was appointed as president alongside three new directors: Christine Yates, Rodney Jackson and Paul Riordan.

Cox said: “It is an enormous honour and privilege to be appointed as President of FINSIA.

“I would like to thank the board for its confidence that it has placed in me at this important time in FINSIA’s history.”

Cox’s association with FINSIA dated back more than a decade having been a member of the Consumer Finance Advisory Group and chair of the Institutional Markets Council – echoed new chief executive Yasser El-Ansary’s request for member feedback.

He said: “As a member-based organisation, one of our key priorities will be to better understand our members, and the sectors in which they operate, to enable us to deliver a more tailored and relevant member value proposition to support them in their day-to-day role.

“I would encourage all FINSIA members – as well as non-members in the financial services industry – to provide feedback on how FINSIA can better add value.”

Cox paid tribute to outgoing president Victoria Weekes’ “tireless efforts in driving FINSIA forward for the benefit of members” and noted that the membership body was in an exceptionally strong position.

“We have a well-recognised brand, a proud history of excellence and professionalism, a loyal, energetic and supportive community of FINSIA members, and we also have a passionate team of FINSIA employees who strive to do the best they can every day to support our members,” he added.

As well as Cox, three directors were appointed to the board; Christine Yates, Rodney Jackson and Paul Riordan.
