October 24 2016 - 9:00AM
Nasdaq (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced that Hans-Ole Jochumsen has
been named Vice Chairman, Nasdaq, effective January 1, 2017.
Jochumsen currently serves as President of Nasdaq, responsible for
Global Trading and Market Services, which comprises all
transactions, clearing, and settlement services, including
equities, equity derivatives, fixed income, currency and
commodities.
In his new role as Vice Chairman, Jochumsen will work
closely across all of Nasdaq’s European teams to
assist in deepening relationships with trading and
listing clients, regulators, and prospects to drive the
company’s mission, which is to provide leading trading and
technology solutions to help businesses and investors succeed in
the capital markets.
“Our continued focus on the success of our clients has been a
driver of Nasdaq’s growth, whether it’s delivering our technology
to more than 85 exchanges and regulators, or providing reliable and
innovative trading solutions for the US and Nordic capital
markets,” said Bob Greifeld, CEO, Nasdaq. “Hans-Ole has been an
instrumental part of our leadership team during the past eight
years, and he will continue to focus on evolving our European
businesses through best-in-class product development, industry
partnerships, and collaboration with clients.”
Since joining Nasdaq in 2008 through the merger with OMX,
Jochumsen has played an instrumental role in key projects,
including acquiring Nord Pool, a leader in Europe’s power market;
launching First North, the Nordic venture exchange; and, increasing
trading activity in Nordic equity, fixed income, and clearing
businesses. Since becoming President two years ago, Jochumsen has
furthered Nasdaq’s business objectives by leading the acquisitions
of Chi-X Canada and International Securities Exchange (ISE), and by
overseeing the launch of NFX, Nasdaq’s U.S. commodities exchange.
Overall, the businesses under Jochumsen’s direction make up 40
percent of Nasdaq net income and operating margins have grown
nearly 25 percent since 2012.
“I am grateful and honored to have played a role in the growth
of Nasdaq since joining in 2008,” said Jochumsen. “My new role
further provides me the opportunity to continue to work closely
with clients and regulators across all of Nasdaq’s businesses
across Europe. Nasdaq’s European businesses are
strategically vital to the company and I believe our role in these
local markets, and in the fintech space, will have a positive
impact on the global investment community and
well-functioning capital markets.”
Jochumsen joined Nasdaq in 2008, after having run the Copenhagen
exchange from 1998 until the merger with OMX and the subsequent
merger with Nasdaq. Prior to that, Jochumsen spent more than two
