Rob Ferguson has stepped down as president of the Canadian Securities Lending Association (CASLA).
Don D'Eramo, head of distribution and product development for securities finance at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), will take over the role.
Ferguson has chosen to retire as president because his primary role as senior vice president at CIBC Mellon has changed.
As well as his current responsibilities for capital markets, he has taken the helm of business development and relationship management throughout CIBC Mellon, following the retirement of David Linds.
Ferguson will remain the CASLA representative for CIBC Mellon but Phil Zywot, of BNY Mellon will take his place on the board, in addition to D’Eramo taking over as president.
D’Eramo replaces Arthur Kolodziejczyk, also of RBC, on the board.
In additional, Paul Larkin from CIBC World Markets replaces Nathalie Bockler, of Societe Generale, on the board and takes over from Don Lim as CIBC World Markets’s representative.
Ferguson said: “I want to thank Arthur Kolodziejczyk, Nathalie Bockler and Don Lim for their service and to welcome Phil Zywot, Paul Larkin and Don D'Eramo to the board.”
“Don D'Eramo is an excellent choice for president and I believe he and CASLA will continue to represent the interests of the Canadian market participants.”
