New CEO joins TPB
The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has appointed tax lawyer, Michael O’Neill, as its new chief executive officer (CEO) and secretary, replacing former secretary Rosemary Holloway.
O’Neill has over 30 years’ public sector experience and joins the TPB from the Australian Taxation Office, where he was most recently chief risk officer after senior leadership roles in investigations, advice, litigation and law reform.
TPB chair, Ian Taylor, said O’Neill brought a wealth of relevant experience to the role, pointing to his background in private practice as a lawyer and senior management positions where he had a strong focus on legal and compliance issues.
“We look forward to working with Michael to advance the interests of both tax practitioners and consumers of tax services,” he said.
In his announcement, Taylor thanked Holloway for her contribution in assisting the board with regulating and registering tax practitioners over the past five years.
