REGIS-TR UK, the UK company within the European trade repository’s franchise, has appointed John Kernan to the board of directors.
He will also assume the role of CEO.
Since April 2019, Kernan has served as acting chief operating officer of REGIS-TR UK and has been a member of the executive management of REGIS-TR since January 2014.
He retains his mandate for business product management and business development for REGIS-TR, reporting to managing director Irene Mermigidis.
REGIS-TR UK was formed under the stewardship of Thomas Steimann in March 2019 to offer clients regulatory reporting services under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation and the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation after Brexit.
Steimann will continue as CEO of REGIS-TR S.A., a role he gained in June 2019, as well as retaining a place on the board of REGIS-TR UK.
Philip Brown, chairman of the boards of directors of both REGIS-TR UK and EU companies, says: “I welcome John on the board of directors and to the new role. He has a long track record of leadership for REGIS-TR across a number of different mandates and is one of our most senior executive contacts for our clients and partners.
“His skills and experience will be integral to the success of REGIS-TR UK in a time of increased market need due to fewer available providers.”
Other board members of REGIS-TR UK include deputy chairman Jesús Benito, Mark Gem, and Francisco Nicolas.
