The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has appointed Jamila Jeffcoate to the newly created roles of head of finance and administration and chief of staff.
Jeffcoate will assume day-to-day responsibilities for the business that are currently being managed by ISLA CEO Andrew Dyson, among others, as of 10 February.
ISLA says the hire represents the first of a number of key hires planned for 2020 that will allow the association to successfully deliver on its “ambitious priorities and objectives in the near to medium term”.
A spokesperson for the association tells SLT that additional hires are likely in ISLA's regulatory and technical areas as well as its communications and events team.
Jeffcoate has worked within the securities lending industry for more than 20 years in a variety of front-office trading and business management roles and has held senior positions at both Deutsche Bank and State Street.
Jeffcoate joined State Street as senior vice president and head of custody for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in 2003, before becoming a senior vice president in February 2019.
"Her knowledge and experience within the industry are unrivalled, and she will, therefore, be able to add considerable value to all aspects of the work we do,” says Dyson.
Jeffcoate comments: ‘’I’m delighted and excited to be joining the team at ISLA in February and look forward to supporting them in representing the best interests of our members and the securities lending industry across EMEA.”
