J.P. Morgan Securities Services has become a member organisation of The International Securities Services Association (ISSA).
As part of the agreement, J.P. Morgan’s Hannah Elson, managing director and global head of custody, will represent the company as a member of the board. Elson has served at JP Morgan Chase and Co since 1997.
Phil Brown, ISSA chair, says "J.P. Morgan Securities Services joining the ISSA board is another sign of industry confidence in ISSA’s commitment to drive change in the industry by collaborating with the world’s best custody firms. We are delighted to have Hannah on the Board.”
On accepting the nomination, Elson says: “I have watched ISSA transform over the past three years, and I’m confident that the association will continue to drive change and innovation in the industry. I am excited to join the board to support ISSA in shaping the future of securities services in the coming years.”
In February, ISSA appointed Stephen Grainger to its executive board. Grainger, who is currently chief executive for the Americas and UK regions at SWIFT, brings two decades of global industry experience to the board, as well as a perspective of the SWIFT business.
