Steven Hondelink has joined the International Securities Services Association (ISSA) board representing Deutsche Bank.
Hondelink will replace current board member James Cox, who has been on the board in September 2018.
At Deutsche Bank, Hondelink serves as head of securities services and agency securities lending for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), a role that he started at the beginning of the year.
Prior to his current role, he worked as head of capital release for Deutsche Bank.
He has 25 years of industry experience and, since joining Deutsche Bank in 2001, has held various senior positions in global equities and the capital release group.
Commenting on the appointment, ISSA’s CEO Colin Parry said: “Steven Hondelink’s background from outside the securities services arena and his trading history will add to the skills of the board and help us continue to deepen our impact throughout the market.”
ISSA is headed by an executive board made up of senior executives of the 15 sponsor firms plus the CEO and the secretary who are acting as independent representatives. In addition, also the head of the operating committee is a member of the executive board.
The board is responsible for the organisation and coordination of all activities of the association and sets its agenda.
