The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has announced that Fredrik Carstens has joined the organisation as a public affairs advisor.
Based in Munich, Carstens will engage with industry stakeholders supporting ISLA’s work in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, to further develop the relationship with market regulators and policy makers and advocate for the role of securities lending in the financial markets.
Carstens will work closely with member firms and industry organisations supporting their needs and requirements in developing the industry.
He brings more than 30 years of financial markets experience to the role, working both in trading and in senior sales positions in the securities lending industry.
