Robert Pickel, the CEO of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), will step down from his role later this year.

Pickel will remain at ISDA during a transition phase in which the board appoints a successor.

“After nearly 17 years in a variety of roles at ISDA, and with many reforms implemented or largely under way, I believe that now is a good time to explore other opportunities,” says Pickel. “I appreciate the support of the ISDA board throughout my time with ISDA and look forward to working with the board to transition to new leadership. I have been fortunate to work with an incredible staff over the years, and I know that their dedication to this organization will ensure a seamless transition.”

“Bob has led ISDA through an incredibly important and challenging time for the derivatives industry, and the board and I are very grateful for all his hard work and unflappable leadership,” says Stephen O’Connor, ISDA chairman. “I’ve enjoyed working closely with him as chairman over the past three years, and I, together with the entire board, wish him all the best for the future.”
