In the newly created role, she will be responsible for regulation in protecting and improving the trust of customers.
“In creating this new role of head of public policy, we want to enhance our engagement with regulatory change globally to promote the best outcome for our clients and the firm,” Massimo Tosato, executive vice chairman, said.
She was previously senior advisor at EY, focusing on the asset management sector. Prior to this, she was director of conduct policy at the Fincial Conduct Authority's (FCA) predecessor, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) from 2009-2013. She had joined the FSA as director of the retail firms division in 2007.
“The pragmatic approach she has adopted throughout her career will be invaluable in helping us contribute more actively to the significant changes the industry will face in the coming years,” Tosato added.
