“Andrew joins EuroCCP at a critical time for the European financial sector, when the marketplace is fragmented and when the industry values more than ever the risk management capabilities offered through CCPs [central counterparties],” said Diana Chan, chief executive officer of EuroCCP. “We are fortunate to add to our team someone with experience on both the exchange and regulatory sides, which will assist us greatly in shaping EuroCCP’s competitive positioning.”
