She will be based in Brussels and report to the firm’s head of public policy, Sheila Nicoll.

Ottawa previously led the EU Liaison Office at Raiffeisen Bank International. Prior to that, she was a financial attache in the Permanent Representation of Austria to the EU and a senior expert at the Austrian Ministry of Finance.

She previously also served in the Austrian Embassy’s trade department in Singapore.

“Schroders, as a global business, is firmly committed to the EU market and Elisabeth’s focus will, in particular, be on EU developments but her appointment will also enable Schroders to engage at a broader international level. She will further build on and consolidate our developing profile within EU institutions as a thought leader in the asset management sector and a champion of the single market,” Nicoll noted.
