Canadian to head international securities committee

Ian Russell has been named chair of the Standing Committee on Regulatory Affairs by the International Council of Securities Associations (ICSA).

He’s currently IIAC president & CEO, and the first Canadian to hold this position.

“Leadership of the Committee will provide a window on the global regulatory agenda, notably in Europe, the United States and Asia,” he says.

The Committee serves as the overall co-ordinating agency for ICSA on regulatory matters and routinely submits position papers to global regulatory bodies such as the Financial Stability Board and the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
