The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has selected Jeroen Krens as the new chair of its board of directors, effective on 1 January 2025.
This move follows the decision of former chair Eric Litvack to step down after 10 years in the role.

Krens adds: 鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to working with my colleagues on the board, Scott, and the ISDA team as we continue to realise ISDA鈥檚 mission of ensuring derivatives markets are safe and efficient. I would also like to thank Eric for his leadership, friendship, and many contributions to ISDA.鈥�

He adds: 鈥淣ow is the right time to hand the torch to the next generation of leaders, and I鈥檓 very confident that Jeroen will do a terrific job as he takes the helm during the next phase of the derivatives market鈥檚 development.鈥�
