I’m really excited to take up this new role at a time when the
CMA is preparing to take on greater powers.
Over the last few years I’ve enjoyed working with some really

continuing to work with a brilliant legal team to deliver for UK
businesses and consumers.
Sarah Cardell, Chief Executive of the CMA, said:
This exciting new position reflects the increase in workload and
