As well as her former ASX role, Brown was also general manager of risk and compliance at the Sydney Futures Exchange prior to which she held senior auditing roles with both KPMG in Sydney and the UK.
According to the appointment announcement, Brown has also been a chair and an executive committee member of CCP12, the not-for-profit industry association for major international clearing houses, and a non-executive director for the Australian Design Alliance.
