David Watson, chief strategy officer of SWIFT, has joined the International Securities Services Association’s (ISSA) board of directors.
Watson takes over the position from David Scola who has worked at the board for the past 18 months.
Watson’s experience in business performance and key client relationships, as well as his broader knowledge of the financial services industry, is expected to be invaluable as the association moves forward.
ISSA is an established and active trade association, domiciled in Zurich (Switzerland), whose members include central securities depositories, custodians and technology companies involved in all aspects of the post-trade value chain.
The association’s objective is to effect change through connecting people and collaborating between firms to make the securities markets more efficient and effective whilst reducing the risk for all participants and their clients.
One of its key ways of assisting change is through a series of working groups that focus on the current issues that are important to the marketplace and equally importantly address the forward-looking strategic agenda of our members.
Watson comments: “I am happy to represent SWIFT at ISSA and for the opportunity to join forces with my fellow ISSA colleagues as we shape the future of our ever-evolving industry.”
Earlier this year Jason James Nabi was appointed to the ISSA board to replace Pierre Yves Goemans.
