Having initially qualified as a UK Chartered Accountant, prior to this appointment Mr Hiscock spent over twenty years at JP Morgan, where he had a variety of roles most recently that of Managing Director and European Head of Hybrid Capital Structuring.

This high level appointment underlines ICMA’s commitment to serving the needs of its global membership at this challenging time.”
