“I’m confident the Group will benefit from Chris’ deep experience as we continue to diversify our business and grow our global footprint. Our technology platform provides resilient, high-speed trading platforms, real time market data, clearing and settlement systems, among a broad range of infrastructure products and services - not only to our own markets, but to a wide range of global customers, including banks, specialist trading firms and more than 40 exchanges and trading venues around the world.”

Antoine Shagoury, Group COO, Group CIO and member of the LSEG Executive Committee, informed LSEG of his decision to leave the Group before the end of the year in order to reunite with his family in the United States.

Mr. Shagoury joined LSEG in 2010 as Group CIO and a member of the Executive Committee. Through his leadership, the Group has modernised and strengthened the resiliency of the Technology and Operations that underpins not only the markets that LSEG operates, but all of its businesses globally.

In that role, he has been integral to the integration of the Group’s most complex acquisitions, including FTSE, LCH.Clearnet Group and Russell Investments’ index business.
