The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has appointed Anneli Tuominen as vice chair.
Tuominen is director-general of the Finnish Finanssivalvonta, an authority responsible for banking, insurance, and securities supervision.
She replaces Carlos Tavares, former chair of the Portuguese Comissão Do Mercado De Valores Mobiliários, who has completed his term. Tuominen will begin her own two-and-a-half year term as vice chair immediately.
Tuominen is a voting member of several supervisory boards, including for the European Banking Authority. She has also chaired various committees, including ESMA’s Financial Innovation Standing Committee.
ESMA chair Steven Maijoor said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Anneli Tuominen as ESMA vice chair. As one of our longest-serving members she has demonstrated her commitment to supporting ESMA in the pursuit of its goals, through her active participation as a board member and her previous chairmanship of the Financial Innovation Standing Committee. I look forward to working with her.”
“Finally, I would like to pay tribute to Carlos Tavares who, through his contribution as vice chair of ESMA … has made an enormous contribution to ESMA’s success to date. I wish him well for the future.”
