Ex-FCA chief Woolard nabs leadership role at EY
Woolard has nabbed a leading compliance job at Big Four firm EY.
Chris Woolard, the former interim chief executive at city regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has nabbed a leadership role at EY.
Woolard will join the Big Four firm in April to lead its EMEIA financial services regulatory capabilities, and chair the EY Global Financial Services Regulatory Network.
He will replace John Liver, who currently leads EY’s UK financial services regulatory compliance capabilities and will be retiring in September 2021.
Woodlard was interim CEO at the FCA between March and September 2020, after Andrew Bailey departed for the top job at the Bank of England.
