ACCC Chief Operating Officer Rayne de Gruchy to depart

By www.accc.gov.au
Published On :: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 13:55:00 +1000

23 April 2020

The ACCC today announced that Scott Gregson would assume the role of acting Chief Operating Officer effective from Monday 27 April 2020 following the retirement of Chief Operating Officer Rayne de Gruchy.

Ms de Gruchy joined the ACCC in 2010 and commenced in her current role in 2014, driving and shaping the ACCC’s culture to enhance its capabilities, performance and impact. She had announced her departure earlier this year and assisted Mr Gregson in the transition.

Ms de Gruchy was awarded the Public Service Medal in 2003 and was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2008 for her contribution to public administration.

Before joining the ACCC, she led the Australian Government Solicitor as its inaugural Chief Executive Officer from 1999 to 2010, creating a successful government business enterprise in Australian Government ownership.

A lawyer by profession, Ms de Gruchy also held other senior executive positions in the public sector, been a non-executive director of a public company and practised law as a banking and finance partner of the law firm now known as Herbert Smith Freehills.

“We will miss Rayne’s calm and measured guidance and advice, and wish her and her family well in her much deserved retirement,” Mr Sims said.

“We thank Rayne for her outstanding career of public service and the pivotal role she has played in her time at the ACCC. Indeed, the ACCC owes much of its governance, culture, flexible working practices and success to her,” ACCC Chair Rod Sims said.

Mr Gregson spent most of his career in enforcement roles at the ACCC. His most recent role was as executive general manager of its Merger and Authorisation Review Division.

Recruitment for the permanent appointment for the COO position is expected to go ahead later in the year.

Commissioner Cristina Cifuentes to depart ACCC

By www.accc.gov.au
Published On :: Thu, 07 May 2020 09:55:00 +1000

7 May 2020

Commissioner Cristina Cifuentes will leave the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on 3 July 2020 after more than seven years in the role, which she held concurrently with nine years as a board member of the Australian Energy Regulator.

Ms Cifuentes was appointed as a Commissioner of the ACCC in May 2013 for a five-year term and then reappointed in 2018.

“Cristina has been one of Australia’s leading infrastructure regulators for a long time and has made an outstanding contribution to the ACCC and AER, and played a large role on the international stage in relation to a wide range of regulatory issues,” ACCC Chair Rod Sims said.

“Perhaps even without even realising it, Australians have benefited immensely from Cristina’s extraordinary breadth of experience and knowledge, particularly in the energy, transport, telecommunications and finance sectors.”

“Cristina’s experience and mix of skills has been invaluable in shaping many of the ACCC’s key decisions.”

During her time at the ACCC, Ms Cifuentes chaired the ACCC’s Communications and Infrastructure committees, which oversee the ACCC’s regulatory role in key infrastructure in areas such as fuel, telecommunications, wheat ports, rail, and water.

Mr Sims says Ms Cifuentes’ contribution will be greatly missed by many across the ACCC and AER.

“Cristina has also been a champion for women and people from cultural and linguistically diverse communities within the ACCC and AER and a mentor to many,” Mr Sims said.

“All of us at the ACCC and AER wish Cristina the very best for her future endeavours both professionally and personally,” Mr Sims said.

Ms Cifuentes will also step down from her roles as an Associate Member of the Australian Communications and Media Authority and as Australia’s delegate to the OECD Network of Economic Regulators.

Background:

Before joining the ACCC, Ms Cifuentes held a number of directorships, including with the Hunter Water Corporation, First State Super Trustee Corporation and NSW T Corp. Her career has spanned both the public and private sectors, including positions at the Reserve Bank of Australia, the New South Wales Treasury and the Australian Securities Commission. She was a tribunal member of the NSW IPART between 1997 and 2006.
