The Options Clearing Corporation’s (OCC) Craig Donohue has agreed to stay on as executive chair and CEO for three additional years after his term expires in December.
The extended term will also see an extensive re-shuffle of OCC’s senior leadership and the creation of an ‘office of the executive chair and CEO’.
Along with Donohue, the new governance structure will include Michael McClain as COO and Scot Warren, formerly executive vice president, business development, in the more senior role of chief administrative officer.
“As chief administrative officer, Scot Warren will be responsible for driving enterprise alignment and enhanced execution of our corporate objectives, which includes creating a high-performance execution environment and improving the enterprise-wide culture of ownership and accountability,” said Donohue.
“This is the right leadership structure for OCC’s needs today, as it allows us to combine the breadth and depth of experience necessary to optimally support the organisation as we move forward,” he added.
OCC is also bringing in fresh faces to a number of other senior roles.
John Fennell, formerly executive vice president of financial risk management, is taking on the role of executive vice president and chief risk officer, following the departure of John Grace.
Fennell will be responsible for implementing OCC’s risk management strategy and will oversee OCC’s model validation and enterprise risk management departments, along with security services, business continuity and disaster recovery, and vendor risk management areas.
His previous position will be filled by Dale Michaels who joined OCC in January to work on the company’s securities lending initiatives.
Additionally, Julie Bauer joined OCC as senior vice president for government relations. She will be responsible for developing and managing OCC’s legislative, regulatory and educational activities with members of Congress, regulators, and other policy makers, along with representatives of the exchange and financial services sectors.
