FIA hires new European policy lead

11 August 2026

WASHINGTON, DC – FIA president and CEO Walt Lukken announced Adeshini Naidoo will join FIA and lead its European policy team starting 14 September.  

“We are excited to have Adeshini join our team as our head of European policy. She will lead FIA’s engagement with European policymakers, regulators and market participants on issues shaping the future of the global derivatives markets,” said Lukken. “Her experiences at the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and the European Commission, along with her relationships, prepare her well to advocate on behalf of our members.” 

Naidoo brings deep expertise in financial markets policy and regulation, with extensive experience working on the legislative and regulatory issues affecting derivatives markets, clearing, market infrastructure and capital markets. She joins FIA at a time when European policymakers are considering a wide-ranging agenda that will influence the competitiveness, resilience and innovation of Europe's financial markets. 

Initially working out of FIA’s London office, Naidoo will transition to the Brussels office next year, working on both UK and EU policy.
