Emma Norman will be joining the LMA as Chief of Staff to the CEO, starting on 20 January. Emma brings a wealth of experience, having spent 15 years working in the leveraged finance markets and joins us from the buy-side.
Whilst Emma’s career has been focused on legal services, her 8 years in-house have equipped her with the skills and insight needed for the dynamic demands of a Chief of Staff position. She has already worked alongside various LMA team members on various initiatives over the past several years, and is looking forward to joining the team.
Emma’s role will have a broad remit, with an initial focus on helping the CEO implement his strategic vision. With her experience in managing large projects, driving operational and process improvements, and consulting on regulatory change within the private credit and CLO markets, Emma is well placed to help the LMA deliver on its aim of enhancing liquidity, efficiency, transparency and sustainability in the EMEA loan markets.
Emma said “I’m delighted to be joining the LMA in this new role, helping the organisation represent a thriving and growing loan market in EMEA. With both opportunities and challenges continuously evolving, I’m excited to work alongside Scott and the team to further strengthen the LMA, ensuring it remains both efficient and effective in delivering value to its members and the broader market.”
"I am delighted to welcome Emma to the LMA as our new Chief of Staff. This new role will help in our ambitions to support the EMEA loan markets across products, regions, and emerging technology. Moreover, it is critical for the LMA to reflect all aspects of the loan markets, representing all stakeholders and Emma’s background will support these goals, specifically drawing on her experience in the institutional investor segment. The LMA will continue to evolve with our market and to reflect the skills and competencies required to serve our members. We have an exciting and ambitious year ahead!"
