In a March meeting, the supervisory board of Eurex Clearing AG decided on the new make-up of its executive board.
Thomas Book, who has been a member of the Eurex Clearing executive board since March 2007, was appointed as CEO.
Newly appointed were Heike Eckert as chief operating officer, Thomas Laux as chief risk officer and Eric Müller for treasury. Andreas Preuss and Jürg Spillmann will continue as executive board members.
“Given Eurex Clearing’s status as a bank-licensed entity and as a reflection of the continued importance of central counterparties for the stability and integrity of the financial markets, the supervisory board determined that the board would be further strengthened by the addition of members who have senior management responsibility for the strategy and day-to-day operations of Eurex Clearing,” said a release from the firm.
Gary Katz, Michael Peters and Peter Reitz will resign from the board but will together with Andreas Preuss, Thomas Book and Jürg Spillmann, continue their mandates as executive board members of Eurex Frankfurt AG and Eurex Zürich AG, the parent companies of Eurex Clearing.
The effective date for the new Eurex Clearing governance structure will be 1 April 2013.
