Financial Planning Standards Board CEO to step down

The Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) has announced that CEO Noel Maye will step down effective 31 December 2022.

Mr Maye, who has served as CEO since the organisation was founded in 2004, said it has been “my privilege to have served the international CFP certification program, global financial planning profession and FPSB” for almost 20 years.

“I’m humbled by what the FPSB team, FPSB Network and global CFP professional community have collectively achieved on behalf of the public and the profession,” Mr Maye said.

“The time is right for me to step back, support the transition to FPSB’s next CEO, and cheer on the FPSB board, team and global financial planning community to new heights.”

The FPSB board of directors has pre-identified a “strong candidate” for the position, but is working with its leadership team and an external consultant on a transition process.

Submissions for the CEO role can be submitted until 10 June 2022.

“FPSB has achieved a lot and substantially raised the global profile of financial planning and CFP certification under Noel’s leadership,” board chairperson Garry Muriwai said.

“The FPSB board and I are grateful for his contribution and leadership and appreciate his commitment to supporting an orderly transition to a new CEO later this year.”

The news comes after former Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) CEO Dante De Gori announced he would be joining the FPSB as head of stakeholder engagement.

Mr De Gori said this month: “I am delighted to be able to take my experience internationally and support the growth of the financial planning profession around the world!”

Mr De Gori left the FPA in July, following a six-year term as CEO and 12 years with the association.
