The appointment comes as the CMA wraps up an investigation into the domestic cloud services market involving Amazon. Gurr's background in tech is seen as vital for fostering economic growth. The change in leadership follows dissatisfaction from the chancellor after meetings with regulators, marking a shift toward more business-friendly regulatory decisions.
