"Rob will be a tremendous asset for MFA advocacy in the UK, EU, and Middle East," said Bryan Corbett, MFA President and CEO. "I know that Rob's decades of experience in financial services will enable him to build on the success MFA has already had in London and Brussels."

"Rob's extensive experience in government affairs in the financial services sector will invigorate MFA's global efforts to strengthen capital markets," said Jillien Flores, MFA Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Head of Global Government Affairs. "He will advocate for an environment that enables alternative asset managers to raise capital, invest, and generate returns for their beneficiaries, including pensions."

Hailey has worked in financial services for nearly two decades. He most recently led Bank of America's government affairs in the UK and Ireland. In that position, he advocated for post-Brexit capital markets reform and built productive relationships with policymakers in London and Dublin.

Hailey previously spent a decade at the UK's largest high street bank, Lloyds Banking Group plc. There he led a team focused on a wide range of public policy issues, policy research, EU affairs, and regulatory affairs during a critical period for the bank as it successfully emerged from partial public ownership. He has also held government affairs roles at Banco Santander in London and Madrid, and at the British bank HBOS plc.

Hailey has a degree in Economics and Politics from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
