Eurex has announced organizational changes that will take effect today as it prepares for its next phase of growth. The restructuring integrates product and sales functions across asset classes, with the goal of improving client interaction and enabling coordinated business development.
Matthias Graulich will lead the newly formed Global Products & Markets division, overseeing product and market development across Equity/Index, Fixed Income, Currency, and Repo. Jens Quiram will take over the Global Sales & Marketing department, consolidating client engagement across all segments. Eurex said the two teams will serve as core drivers of its long-term expansion strategy.
Melanie Dannheimer will join the Eurex Frankfurt AG Executive Board as Chief Control Officer. She currently oversees trade venue regulation. Her appointment follows the planned departure of Randolf Roth, who chose not to extend his mandate after 26 years with the company. Roth will remain a strategic adviser to the Executive Board while pursuing roles outside Eurex.
Robbert Booij will assume the role of Head of Financial Derivatives, taking overall responsibility for trading and clearing activities. He will report to Thomas Book, Executive Board Member for Trading & Clearing at Deutsche Börse AG. The new structure follows the previously announced exit of Erik Müller, CEO of Eurex Clearing AG.
“This new structure will pay off for our customers in many ways”
Thomas Book, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse AG, commented, “I am confident the streamlined structure in combination with the expanded role of Robbert are the basis for growth and will take Eurex to the next level. I am also looking forward to announcing a new CEO for Eurex Clearing AG soon, a position that is of crucial importance given the growing importance of central clearing and risk management. I would like to thank Randolf for his outstanding commitment and passion contributing to Eurex‘s success over many years.”
Robbert Booij, Head of Financial Derivatives, commented, “I am deeply convinced that this new structure will pay off for our customers in many ways, from speeding up product development cycles, to a single client interface and further improved services. Matthias and Jens have proven to be effective leaders in these key areas, demonstrated by the successful execution of initiatives like the ‘Home of the Euro Yield Curve’ strategy. I extend my thanks to Randolf Roth for his dedicated contributions and I look forward to continuing to work with him in his new role.”
