ICMA pays tribute to Hans-Joerg Rudloff
ICMA is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hans-Joerg Rudloff, who served as Chairman of the International Capital Market Association from June 2005 to May 2011. A defining figure in the development of the international capital markets, he was widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Eurobond market and a central architect of its modern form.Mr Rudloff’s contribution to global finance spanned nearly five decades. His career began at Credit Suisse in Geneva in 1965, followed by more than a decade at Kidder Peabody in New York. He returned to Credit Suisse in 1980, a period in which the Eurobond market expanded rapidly, multiplying tenfold over the decade and reshaping international funding practices.As ICMA Chairman, Mr Rudloff guided the Association through a period of exceptional change. His tenure encompassed the global financial crisis, a time that demanded clarity of purpose and firm stewardship. Under his leadership, ICMA divested its commercial operations and refocused its mission on strengthening market standards, improving efficiency in cross-border securities markets, and reinforcing the importance of sound practices across primary, secondary, and repo markets. His influence helped set the direction for the modern ICMA: a public-interest body committed to resilient, well-functioning international capital markets.Even after stepping down from ICMA in 2011 and retiring from investment banking in 2014, Mr Rudloff remained active in the industry. His impact on market structure, on generations of practitioners, and on ICMA’s evolution will be long-lasting.ICMA extends its condolences to his family, friends, and former colleagues. We honour his leadership, his vision for the international capital markets, and his significant contribution to the Association’s history.
