The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada has announced that Wendy Rudd will join IIROC as senior vice-president, market regulation and policy, effective November 8, 2011.

“Wendy brings a wealth of market regulation knowledge and practical experience to IIROC. She will be an invaluable addition to IIROC’s senior management team,” said Susan Wolburgh Jenah, IIROC’s president and CEO.

Rudd’s extensive industry experience includes her role as CEO at TriAct Canada Marketplace and senior management roles in business development and equity trading at ITG Canada, CIBC World Markets and the Toronto Stock Exchange.

She Rudd served on the IIROC board of directors from 2008 to 2009 and was most recently a partner at Capco Capital Markets, a consultancy firm.

With this appointment, direct oversight of all aspects of IIROC’s market regulation program will rest with Rudd.

Paul Riccardi’s senior vice-president responsibilities continue to include enforcement, dealer member policy and registration.

Rosemary Chan continues her senior vice-president role as IIROC general counsel and assumes responsibility for business conduct and financial and operations compliance.

“This balanced allocation of responsibilities at a senior management level will allow us to more effectively deliver on our mandate to strengthen market integrity and build confidence in Canada’s capital markets in a period of rapid change,” Wolburgh Jenah said.
