Julia joins the FCA from Bank of America Merrill Lynch where she is currently managing directly responsible for a range of debt capital markets products including European Commercial Paper, Covered Bonds and Green Bonds in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Julia has also been active in advising financial institution clients on their overall funding strategies.
Clive Adamson, director of supervision at the FCA, said:
"I am delighted that Julia is joining us - she has a huge amount of industry experience, with an excellent understanding of financial institutions and specific investment banking experience."
Julia was previously the CEO of DEPFA ACS Bank Ireland and has also worked at JP Morgan in debt capital markets roles covering Sovereign, Supranational and Agency and Emerging Markets clients.
Julia Hoggett said:
"I am honoured to be joining the FCA and to be part of the further development of financial market supervision in the UK. I am looking forward to working closely with colleagues and the wider market to ensure that the United Kingdom remains at the forefront of the investment banking industry and does so in a manner which places the protection of consumers, of all forms, front and centre."
Julia will report into Will Amos, the FCA’s director of wholesale banking and investment management.
Her appointment follows a number of other high profile hires for Clive Adamson’s supervision division, including Robert Taylor as the FCA’s head of wealth management and private banking in January 2014 and James Kelly as an adviser in the wholesale banking and investment management division in February. Karina McTeague was recruited from Lloyds Banking Group last year as director of retail banking.
In the policy division, Mary Starks and Deborah Jones were appointed to share the post of director of competition in September.
