Robert J. Schwartz, who took over as interim head of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association in August after Frederick R. Medero resigned, has left the association to accept a position with Republic New York Corp.
Mr. Schwartz, a former member of ISDA's board, resigned last June as chief operating officer of Mitsubishi Capital Market Services Inc. to run ISDA until a replacement for Mr. Medero was found.
Mr. Schwartz now becomes executive vice-president and deputy treasurer of Republic. The ISDA spokesman said the association is still looking for a new executive director.
