Australia's ASX finance chief Andrew Tobin to retire months after new CEO named

July 24 (Reuters) - Australian stock exchange operator ASX Ltd said on Friday that CFO Andrew Tobin intends to retire.

The announcement comes two months after the bourse operator appointed Euronext executive Anthony Attia as its top boss following the abrupt resignation of long-time CEO Helen Lofthouse earlier this year.

Here are some details:

• Tobin joined ASX in 2022 and has led the finance, treasury, strategy and corporate affairs teams over the period.

• ASX interim CEO Darren Yip said Tobin has agreed to remain CFO while the company finalises the appointment of a successor.

• "Andrew has made a significant contribution over the past four years as ASX navigated a demanding operating environment," Yip added.

• ASX has faced heightened regulatory scrutiny following a series of operational issues, including a company-name mix-up in August 2025 and an outage of its announcements platform in December 2025.

• The company reiterated that incoming CEO Attia will assume the role on September 1.
