Jason James Nabi has been appointed to the International Securities Services Association (ISSA) board to replace Pierre Yves Goemans.
Nabi currently services as group head of strategy and merger and acquisitions at Euroclear.
ISSA says it would like to thank Goemans for his “valuable insights and contribution during his tenure”.
According to the recently issued ISSA whitepaper, Future of Securities Services, the speed of technological advancements was identified as one of the major trends that will reshape the securities industry over the next 10 years.
ISSA suggests that Nabi’s experience and knowledge of these topics at the board level “will help ensure we fulfil our ambitions for ISSA”.
Other trends that were highlighted in the whitepaper included cost pressure to the core, new growth paths, industry disruption and early lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Phil Brown, ISSA Chairman, states: “Euroclear has been a long standing member of ISSA and
while we are sad to see Pierre Yves Goeman’s departure, we believe that Jason James Nabi’s background and his knowledge of the new technologies appearing within capital markets will be a benefit to the board. We wholeheartedly welcome him.”
Commenting on his appointment, Nabi says: “I am delighted to join the ISSA board which consists of industry professionals with a common purpose to foster innovation, collaboration and learning through shared business knowledge.”
“I am passionate about our industry and have been involved with ISSA in the past so I know the excellent work first hand they do in looking at the future of securities services,” he adds.
In January, Credit Suisse’s Andrew Luscombe also joined ISSA’s board.
Luscombe is Credit Suisse’s head of group operations Asia Pacific, based in Singapore. He is also the global head of market-facing operations and network within group operations.
