During his time at ASIC he was heavily involved with the financial services royal commission, led legal cases against Westpac and National Australia Bank and was a key driver of financial sector policy.
Prior to joining ASIC, Kell previously led consumer group CHOICE and was deputy chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)
Also joining the committee was Jerry Parwada, a professor of finance at the University of New South Wales, as chairperson and Janice Sengupta, former chief investment officer Asia Pacific at AON.
