“I am deeply thankful for Michael’s huge contribution and commitment to Deutsche Börse Group during his impressive career since he first joined Deutsche Terminbörse in 1991. Michael was instrumental to Eurex’s success. Now, I am excited that Robbert Booij joins our team. Robbert has an excellent background in the derivatives industry. With his client perspective, he is the perfect candidate to lead Eurex Frankfurt AG. Together with Erik Müller, CEO of Eurex Clearing, we will have two very strong leaders to ensure Eurex’ success in the future,” says Thomas Book, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse, responsible for Trading & Clearing.

“I am very pleased of what Eurex has achieved in the last 25 years. I am extremely grateful to the entire team and our clients for supporting us and me personally to grow Eurex as a globally leading marketplace. I cannot think of a better successor than Robbert. I am convinced he will drive Eurex passionately forward,” emphasises Michael Peters.

“I highly value Robbert’s great expertise and his contributions to the industry. I am looking forward to working with Robbert to continue the success story of Eurex,” says Erik Müller, CEO of Eurex Clearing.

“I know Eurex well from my current role at ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V. and had the honour to be the Chairman of the Eurex Exchange Council. Eurex is a global derivatives powerhouse, both in trading and clearing. I feel very privileged to be appointed as CEO of Eurex Frankfurt AG. I am excited to work with the team and Eurex’s clients in my new role, and to build upon the great achievements delivered under the leadership of Michael,” underlines Robbert Booij, designated CEO of Eurex Frankfurt AG.
