Woolard is the FCA’s executive director of strategy and
competition and an executive member of the FCA’s board.
Woolard joined the Financial Services Authority in 2013 (as the
FCA used to be called), to help lead the creation of the FCA.
Before that, he worked at the UK telecoms regulator Ofcom
(2009-2012) the BBC (2005-2009) and in the civil service
(1995-2005).
The chief executive of the FCA is a public appointment made by HM
Treasury. HM Treasury will be running an open competition for the
permanent CEO and further details will be announced in due
course.
