The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has appointed Simon Waddington as chief operating officer.

In his new role, Waddington will oversee ISLA’s day-to-day operational activities and the overall management of the business, including growth strategy, financial accounting, operational processes, human resources, and board secretariat.

Waddington brings more than 25 years of experience in the securities finance industry to the role.

During his career, Waddington has held senior positions at State Street and the Royal Bank of Canada, covering a broad range of roles across trading, product development, sales, and relationship management.

He joins ISLA from State Street’s Financing Solutions business where he served as managing director, head of business development EMEA.

Andrew Dyson, CEO at ISLA, says: “Simon brings a wealth of experience in overseeing the growth of businesses with hands-on involvement in front and back office functions.

“These skills, along with Simon’s broad network and relationships within the sector, will be of huge benefit to the organisation as we continue to grow our regional footprint, support the development of ISLA Americas, and strengthen our member offering over the coming years.”
