June 17, 2010, Washington, D.C.: Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, Chairman of Promontory Europe, has been appointed Chairman of the Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation, the independent body responsible for development and promulgation of global accounting standards.

He was Italian Minister of Economy and Finance (2006-2008) and Chairman of the Ministerial Committee of the International Monetary Fund (2007-08).

From January 2006 until his appointment as Italian Finance Minister five months later, he served as a Special Adviser to Mr. Ludwig in his role as CEO of Promontory. He was a member of the first Executive Board of the European Central Bank (1998-2005). Previously he was Chairman of the Commissione Nazionale per la Societa e la Borsa (1997-98), Deputy Director General of the Banca d’Italia (1984-97) and Director General for Economic and Financial Affairs at the Commission of the European Communities (1979-83).
