The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) has named Nigel Sydenham as chair of its training, competence and culture (TC&C) interest group committee.

Mr Sydenham is head of governance, risk and compliance training (UK) at CCL Academy, and specialises in training boards, senior managers and other staff on the impact of regulation and regulatory change.

He takes over the role of Chair from Carl Redfern who held the position of Chair for the last two years.

The TC&C Interest Group Committee encourages CISI members to share their ideas and listen to presentations by practitioners.

The group connects with other professionals and engages in open discussions in a confidential setting, as groups are conducted under the Chatham House rule, unless recorded for CISI TV.

Kevin Moore, CISI director of global business development said: “I would like to thank Carl for his excellent leadership of the Group over the last few years and welcome Nigel in his new role. We look forward to supporting him with his ideas and strategy for the Group in the future.”
