The FICC Markets Standards Board (FMSB) has appointed Edward Davey as its first chief operating officer with a focus on managing working groups to develop and produce standards across the FICC markets.
FMSB is a practitioner-led, membership organisation with active participation from almost 50 corporate, buy-side, sell-side, markets services and infrastructure providers.
Reporting to FMSB’s CEO, Davey will manage the working groups and sub-committees as they develop and produce standards, good practice statements and thought leadership publications across a wide range of wholesale FICC markets topics.
The role will also focus on expanding FMSB’s membership base and its international reach.
Davey previously served as J.P. Morgan global foreign exchange (FX) COO until 2010, followed by two years as head of FX strategic reengineering project.
A chartered accountant with an MBA, Davey has recently been running a business development consultancy, working with several fintech companies and aiding a large Australian bank as it established a new entity in Europe post-Brexit.
FMSB CEO Martin Pluves says: “I am delighted to welcome Ed to FMSB as our first COO. This is an important role for FMSB and our members given we have a large pipeline of work for 2021 and beyond as part of our remit to raise standards in wholesale FICC markets.
“Ed has significant experience of working within the financial services sector and in delivering organisational improvements. We look forward to working with Ed as part of the FMSB Secretariat.”
It’s all change at FMSB as Pluves is set to step down in Spring, once a successor is found.
