The International Securities Services Association (ISSA) has appointed Jeff Williams, global head of network management for direct custody and clearing at Citi, to the board of directors.
ISSA operates as an association of global securities services providers to provide industry information on the developing markets, and promote stronger market practices.
Williams’ appointment follows Lee Waithe’s retirement as board chair earlier this year.
Phil Brown, chairman of ISSA, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Jeff Williams to our board of directors. His experience and global outlook, coupled with his deep knowledge of the securities industry and ISSA’s agenda, will add further strength to our board.”
“The fact that Jeff has served on the ISSA operating committee is an added bonus.”
Williams added: “I am honoured to be elected to the board of ISSA as Citi’s representative. I have been a strong supporter of ISSA over the years and look forward to helping the association adapt to the next set of strategic challenges.”
