NYSE Euronext has announced Hugh Freedberg is to succeed Andre Villeneuve as chairman of NYSE Liffe, the company’s global derivatives business. Garry Jones, the exchange’s executive director of business development and strategy, will replace Freedberg’s role as group executive vice-president and head of global derivatives. The changes are effective May 1, when Villeneuve will retire.
Freedberg played a fundamental role in reviving Liffe, as it was then known, when he joined the exchange in 1998. In tandem with Sir Brian Williamson, Freedberg pushed through a series of changes that served as a blueprint for many other exchanges around the world.
