Eva Hüpkes leads the FSB Secretariat support on regulatory and supervisory policy cooperation and resolution policies.

More recently, she has been involved in a broad range of issues associated with technological innovation, including the development of the FSB’s high-level recommendations for the regulation, supervision and oversight of crypto-asset activities and markets, and “global stablecoin” arrangements. Prior to joining the FSB, she served as Head of Regulation at the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). During 1997-1999 she worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
