A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art with a BA Hons in Illustration, Kyra has a wealth of experience having worked at Scottish Widows, Walter Scott Investment Management and Blackrock since joining financial services in 1999. Since joining Standard Life Investments (SLI) in 2012 working in advisory and regulatory change, she has particularly focused particularly on MiFID II (particularly market structure changes, EMIR/MiFID interaction, research, best execution and target market) and global derivatives regulation (Dodd Frank, EMIR, IOSCO, FSB) over the last few years. Kyra’s work involves assessing how regulation will impact SLI both directly and indirectly in terms of impacts on counterparties. She is increasingly involved in discussions on impact of regulation with clients, to help them understand the requirements and what they might need to do to navigate the regulatory environment.
