Long-standing executive board member Jürg Spillmann has decided to retire at the end of the year from the executive boards of the Eurex companies.
Spillmann served as deputy CEO of Eurex Zürich AG and Eurex Frankfurt AG from their launch in 1998, and of the Eurex Clearing AG.
He will become a member of the board of directors of Eurex Zürich AG with effect from January 2014, and will remain on the supervisory boards of the European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) and European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC).
Spillmann made a decisive contribution to the migration of exchange-traded derivatives from local floor trading to fully electronic, global marketplaces, said a statement from Eurex.
"A world-renowned pioneer of electronic trading and clearing systems is taking his well-earned retirement. Spillmann's exceptional talent and expertise enabled him to lead every complex major project undertaken to successful realisation."
"At the same time, he is known for his self-effacing, and friendly manner as well as his integrity. With his IT expertise, he made a major contribution to our company's long-term success, in which technology was and is a decisive factor,” said Andreas Preuss, CEO of Eurex and deputy CEO of Deutsche Börse AG.
Spillmann's roles in the Eurex executive board will be taken over by the existing executive board members.
