Diane Schueneman - a former head of global infrastructure solutions at Merrill Lynch - has been appointed as one of two new non-executive directors at Icap, coming on the same day as the interdealer broker reported an uptick in revenues during the first quarter of its financial year.

Icap yesterday confirmed the appointment as non-executive directors of Schueneman along with Robert Standing, a principal at London Diversified Fund Management, following its annual general meeting.
