SIX Names Head of Financial Information Business

Swiss exchange group SIX has announced the appointment of Marion Leslie to head up its Financial Information business. Leslie will take up the new role on January 1st, 2020, as well as a position on the SIX executive board, replacing the outgoing Robert Jeanbart, who is to retire in December this year. Having joined Refinitiv in 1994 when the firm was part of Thomson Reuters, Leslie has held a series of management positions with the data vendor and was most recently a managing director for enterprise, with responsibility for the data business in the areas of regulation, pricing, and reference data. Robert Jeanbard is due to step down as the current head of Financial Information and member of the executive board later this year, having held both positions since May 2014. Jeanbart led the restructuring of the SIX Financial information unit, building out its regulatory data and services, reference data and corporate action activities in the process.
