Euronext Taps Giorgio Modica as CFO, Succeeding Amaury Dauge

Euronext, Europe’s largest exchange, has appointed Giorgio Modica as its newest Chief Financial Officer (CFO). He will step into the role on May 2, 2016 following the departure of Amaury Dauge, who announced that he was parting ways with the exchange to pursue other projects, according to a recent Reuters report.

Mr. Modica joins Euronext at a transitional juncture for the exchange group, as its finance team is being reshuffled and organized in a bid to help strengthen its future outlook at strategy. The timing of the move also follows on the heels of highly diminished volumes at many institutional venues worldwide, many of which have suffered from monthly downtrends.
