The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has appointed Kevin Lewis group executive and chief compliance officer, effective July 19.

He replaces Eric Mayne, who is leaving the group in September after holding the role for five years. In addition, Malcolm Starr, executive general manager of regulatory and public policy for ASX, has succeeded Mayne as chairman of the ASX Corporate Governance Council, effective as of July 1.

The shake-up comes as the ASX transitions supervision of the markets to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission—the country's corporate regulator—by August, although that timeframe is not set in stone.
