FPSB CEO steps down
The Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) has announced chief executive, Noel Maye, will step down from his leadership position on 31 December.
Maye had led the organisation responsible for Certified Financial Planner certifications outside the US since it was established in 2004.
In that time, the FPSB has grown in reach from 17 to 27 territories and administered the doubling in CFP professionals worldwide to 203,312.
“It’s been my privilege to have served the international CFP certification program, global financial planning profession and FPSB for two decades,” Maye said.
“I’m humbled by what the FPSB team, FPSB Network and global CFP professional community have collectively achieved on behalf of the public and the profession. The time is right for me to step back, support the transition to FPSB’s next CEO, and cheer on the FPSB board, team and global financial planning community to new heights.”
The FPSB board of directors had begun working with the FPSB leadership team and an external consultant on the CEO transition process. It said its board had pre-identified a candidate, but was committed to a fair, transparent approach to evaluating internal and external candidates for the position.
FPSB chairperson, Garry Muriwai, extended his thanks to Maye for his drive and passion for the FPSB mission and vision.
“FPSB has achieved a lot and substantially raised the global profile of financial planning and CFP certification under Noel’s leadership.
“The FPSB board and I are grateful for his contribution and leadership and appreciate his commitment to supporting an orderly transition to a new CEO later this year,” he said.
Former Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) chief executive, Dante De Gori, joined the organisation earlier this month as head of stakeholder engagement.
