Kay served as Vice-Chair of the European Parliament’s influential Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, playing a pivotal role in shaping EU and global financial services legislation, including setting up the EU supervisory bodies (ESAs, SSM, SRM), capital markets union (EMIR, MiFID II, Prospectus, CCP Recovery & Resolution), and the broader banking union files. Prior to her career as an MEP, Kay worked in investment banking.

She brought a unique insight to policy 'behind the scenes'.
