Gurr, previously with Amazon and currently the Director of the Natural History Museum, steps into the role as the government pushes for regulators to help stimulate a stagnating economy. This leadership change occurs as the CMA prepares to release decisions on several investigations, including the cloud services market—an area of keen interest for major tech companies.
The UK government is seeking ways to kickstart a stalling economy, prompting changes at the CMA as it shifts focus towards supporting economic growth.
