LONDON, U.K.: The British government has selected former Amazon executive Doug Gurr to serve as the permanent chair of the country's antitrust regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), according to a statement released on February 23.
Business minister Peter Kyle named Gurr as his preferred candidate to continue in the role, which he has held on an interim basis since last year. His initial appointment followed the government's signal that it wanted the CMA and other regulators to place greater emphasis on supporting economic growth.
If confirmed following a parliamentary hearing, Gurr will lead the CMA for a five-year term.
The CMA is responsible for enforcing competition law and overseeing mergers and market practices in the United Kingdom.
