The standards-setting body for the global financial planning profession has appointed Dante De Gori chief executive.

He replaces Noel Maye, who will step down as chief executive Financial Standards Planning Board in December.

FPSB chair Garry Muriwai said De Gori's industry experience and leadership skills would drive the board's vision and mission.

"We look forward to working with him to advance the global financial planning profession," he said.

Added De Gori: "The value of financial planning and of working with a financial planner who has committed to competency and ethical standards, like a CFP professional, is becoming increasingly important with the rise of technology, fin-fluencers, geopolitical conflicts and inflation.

"FSPB and the global financial planning community of more than 203,000 CFP professionals play an important role in helping people realize the benefits of financial planning.

"I look forward to continuing my work with the FSPB team and network to uphold and promote worldwide professional financial planning standards and raise awareness of the value of financial planning."

De Gori previously served as the chief executive officer of the Financial Planning Association of Australia.

Before that, he was the technical manager of business support for ClearView retirement solutions.

He also served as chairperson of the FSPB council and chief executives committee from 2018 to 2021.

Earlier this year, he joined the board as head of stakeholder engagement.

"As incoming CEO, I'm honoured to follow Noel Maye and continue efforts to build and future-proof the global financial planning profession," De Gori said.

"A true advocate and pioneer, Noel has been instrumental in paving the way to establish financial planning as a distinct profession with CFP certification its global symbol of excellence."
