Josef Landolt will step down as CEO of the International Securities Services Association (ISSA), effective 1 September.
Landolt held the position of CEO for five years, during which time he oversaw the implementation of technology solutions.
He also served as the ISSA chair for 25 years while also working in senior roles at UBS.
As previously announced in February, Colin Parry, who previously founded financial services technology company Atomic Wire, will become the new CEO.
Parry has been working closely with Landolt since the announcement. Landolt said: “I am sure he is now well prepared to start his journey as the new ISSA CEO.”
Landolt added: “The mandates as chairman and CEO of ISSA have given me the opportunity to meet so many high-calibre professionals. Now the time has come to step back behind the front. I leave my role with respect and with gratitude.”
“I take it as a sign of confidence that the ISSA board has asked me to act as the programme manager to prepare and organise our 20th ISSA Symposium next June at Wolfsberg.”
Lee Waite, ISSA chairman, added: “Having been intrinsically connected to ISSA for most of its existence, it is no exaggeration to say Josef Landolt has poured his heart and soul into industry issues and ISSA throughout his 40-year career. The whole industry and all who work and have worked in it have benefited directly from this dedication and professionalism.”
