Stock Exchange CEO steps down

Tuesday 04 February 2020

The International Stock Exchange is on a hunt for a successor CEO after the incumbent decided to step down following five years in the role.

Fiona Le Poidevin, who took up the role of CEO in January 2015, is leaving the position to pursue non-executive directorships.

She said she had thoroughly enjoyed her time at TISE, describing her role as "very challenging and rewarding".

"I am extremely proud of what we have achieved as a team during the last five years," she added. "We have not only transformed the business and facilitated significant growth but we have also created a new brand that is well recognised and respected in the marketplace and which we have been promoting across the globe, including in the US and Asia.

"In addition, we have created opportunities for our people, increasing our staff numbers overall by more than 50% and fostering a positive culture which reflects our core values.”

“Fiona has been instrumental in transforming the Exchange since she joined as CEO just over five years ago," Jon Moulton, Chairman of The International Stock Exchange Group, said. "In that time, we have seen consistent growth both in the number of listings on the Exchange and the profitability of the company, which is illustrated by the company’s market value rising tenfold in that period. We wish her well in the future and thank her for her productive efforts.

"The Board has now started a search for a new CEO to continue the development and growth of the business.”
