The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has appointed Ben Gully, currently Deputy Superintendent at Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), as its next Secretary General for a three-year term beginning August 14, 2026.
At OSFI, Gully oversees the Supervision Sector and serves as the agency’s representative to the Basel Committee. He has more than 25 years of experience in bank regulation and supervision, having previously served as Chief Risk Officer at the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. He began his career as an analyst in the Bank of England's financial stability area. Gully will succeed Neil Esho, who has served as Secretary General since 2022 and retires at the end of this month.
“Ben has extensive experience in prudential regulation and supervision in multiple jurisdictions and has been an active and highly respected member of the Committee for the last six years,” said Erik Thedéen, Chair of the Basel Committee. “His broad and deep knowledge of the regulatory and supervisory landscape, global perspective and proven leadership skills make him the ideal candidate to lead the Secretariat.”
Notably, Gully served as an Advisor on the “Supervisors on Supervision” Deeper Dive report.
