- Matthew Nelson, EY global climate change and sustainability services leader
Joining the AUASB are:
- Chi Mun Woo, Deloitte partner in climate change and sustainability

Mr King joins the AASB after working at KPMG Australia for over 20 years, including a brief stint at the firm’s headquarters as global head: ESG and sustainability and global chair - sustainability, climate change, and ESG services.
With over 27 years of advisory and assurance experience, Ms Maimone brings a diverse background to the AASB. She studied chemical engineering at the University of Melbourne and holds positions on the board of Engineers Australia and Sustainability Victoria’s audit, finance, and risk committee.
