Kirsten Wegner has been selected as the new CEO for the Index Industry Association (IIA).
As CEO, she will be expected to work with the IIA’s 17 member firms as well as its board of directors, to lead its strategic public policy and communications initiative.
Wegner takes over the role from Rick Redding, who stepped down from his 13-year tenure as CEO since the company’s founding in 2012.
She holds a wealth of industry knowledge in financial and regulatory services, and previously served as CEO of Modern Markets Initiative as well as government relations director at ISE Holdings.
Fiona Bassett, IIA chair and CEO of FTSE Russell, says: “We’re incredibly excited to have Kirsten join the Index Industry Association to help us reach the next level in our development and build on our very successful first decade. The IIA plays a critical role in educating investors on the benefits of indexes, advocating for the best interests of index users.”
Wegner adds: “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join the IIA and put my skills, expertise and passion to work to make this organisation an even stronger advocate for index investors.”
The IIA is an association of independent index providers, including Bloomberg Indices, CBOE Global Indices, and the China Securities Index.
