Speaking about the appointment, Corrs chief executive Gavin MacLaren said: “Jo has significant experience in financial and prudential regulation, debt and hybrid issuance and innovation in debt capital markets, including green and sustainable finance and digital bonds.
“She has more than two decades of specialist capital markets experience, which will be of great benefit to our clients, and we are delighted to welcome her to the partnership.”
