ICAP has hired to Jenny Knott as CEO of post-trade risk and information services, effective from 5 August.
Knott will be responsible for leading the strategic direction of the division, and will head up Traiana, TriOptima, Reset, Euclid and ICAP Information Services businesses. She will also sit on the global executive management group.
She joins from Standard Bank Group where she was CEO of Standard Bank Plc and corporate and investment banking international, and strategic advisor to the group’s CEOs.
The new role is based in London, and Knott will report directly to group CEO Michael Spencer.
Spencer said: "This is an important hire for ICAP and for the key businesses within the post-trade risk and information services division.”
“[Knott] is impressive and suitably experienced, having spent her entire career in the global financial markets. The significant time she has spent in investment banking means she brings a valuable insight, as well as deep knowledge of the changing regulatory landscape and, crucially for ICAP, the opportunities this brings in the pre and post trade space.”
