Some personal news: after 9 years as CEO of @AFME_EU, I’m delighted to be joining @FTIConsulting as Vice Chairman in EMEA & Global Head of Financial Services in the Strategic Comms Division in January 2020: https://t.co/WIHDfSlvT4

A trade group is only as good as its members and I am lucky to have benefitted from a highly engaged markets-facing Board over the last 9 years.

We must continue to make the positive case for the role of #capitalmarkets in supporting growth & prosperity, and thereby creating a stronger society.

[Simon Lewis @SimonLewis_66]

As we celebrate @AFME_EU's 10th Anniversary this evening, it has been a privilege to serve as the founding CEO of AFME, representing the views & concerns of such an important sector.

[Simon Lewis @SimonLewis_66]

Delighted to announce that Adam Farkas, currently EBA Executive Director, will become @AFME_EU’s new CEO in Feb 2020. I am sure he will be a fine leader of AFME in the next stage of its development: https://t.co/5cvgh5YUJL

Congratulations to @VDombrovskis on today's nomination as Executive VP & Commissioner for Financial Services. @AFME_EU stands ready to support him in continued efforts to achieve #CapitalMarketsUnion, a vital initiative for achieving an economy that works for Europe’s citizens.

Substantial work has been done by both #banks & #regulators to mitigate the impact of a #NoDeal #Brexit. But, as our new paper highlights, it still poses a number of significant risks for the financial services sector: https://t.co/CAS26pLWsV

Delighted to have received this memento from John Orchard @IMN_ABSGroup on the occasion of my last #GlobalABS in Barcelona where this year’s conference saw a record post-crisis attendance of 4100 delegates

Congratulations to Vice President @VDombrovskis on your renomination to @EU_Commission - your leadership on #CMU has been crucial so far. Still much more work to do on #CMU & #BankingUnion

I'm honoured to be nominated to serve as Latvia’s 🇱🇻 Commissioner for the EU's 🇪🇺 next legislative term. I will do my outmost to live up to the trust that the government of Latvia and Latvian voters have shown in me. I will work in the interest of a stronger Europe.

Good to read that @FMSB_UK and @CISI are planning to launch a global qualification programme for market practitioners, in 2020. Such a qualification would support high standards and international #collaboration in wholesale financial markets.
