Equities clearinghouse, European Central Counterparty N.V. (EuroCCP), announced on Thursday that it has appointed Cécile Nagel as Chief Executive Officer. Nagel joins the company from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).
The appointment of Nagel follows the announcement in November last year that the current CEO, Diana Chan, would hand over the management of the firm in 2018. According to the statement, Nagel will commence her role in September 2018.

Nagel joins the Clearing House with more than a decade’s worth of experience in the finance industry. She joined LSEG in 2009 as Head of Strategic Planning and held the role for just over five years.

Nagel’s most recent position at the exchange was Head of LSE Markets Global Product Development and LSE Exchange Traded Products.
Before LSEG Nagel also worked at Oliver Wyman, a management consultant firm. Before this, she was a Senior Associate at the Financial Conduct Authority, a British financial regulatory body. In this position, Nagel supervised the London Stock Exchange.
