The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) has hired Christian Krohn and Ruari Ewing to its policy team. They will take up newly created posts within the Regulatory Policy department during February.
“The Association is committed to providing the highest professional standard of service to its global membership though its advocacy work at national and international level,” says Nick Collier, the Head of Regulatory Policy at the ICMA. “I am delighted that we have been able to fill these new positions in the team with such high calibre individuals who already have such relevant practical experience in the field of financial regulation”.
Krohn joins the ICMA after four years at the Financial Services Authority, the UK regulator, in the Markets Policy Department where he led FSA policy development on the Transparency Directive and worked on clearing and settlement. At ICMA he will lead the Association’s work on the implementation of the Transparency Directive.
Ewing has over six years direct specialised experience of debt capital market transactions, gained whilst at his previous position at Allen and Overy in Paris. His responsibilities at ICMA will include support for its primary market activities, where the Association has played an active role in shaping the Prospectus Directive and continues to monitor its impact on the market, post implementation and work on the Islamic finance initiative.
