Anthony Attia has been appointed CEO of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and will take up the role in September 2026, subject to obtaining the relevant Australian work rights.
Attia brings more than three decades of global exchange‑industry experience across Europe and the United States. He has held senior leadership roles at Euronext, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and NYSE Euronext.
As CEO of Euronext Paris and a member of the Euronext managing board from 2014 to 2021, and most recently as Euronext global head of Derivatives and Post‑Trade, Attia focused on transforming and scaling market‑infrastructure businesses. He played a central role in Euronext’s evolution into a leading pan‑European market operator, overseeing the development of its proprietary trading platform Optiq and the expansion of Euronext Clearing into a multi‑asset international clearing house.
During his tenure as senior vice president at ICE, Attia was played a key role in the carve‑out of Euronext from ICE and its IPO in 2014.
Current ASX CEO Helen Lofthouse will depart on 29 May 2026. Darren Yip, group executive, Markets and Listings, has been appointed interim CEO and will support the transition to Attia later this year.
