The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has appointed Julia Hoggett as CEO of London Stock Exchange plc, a regulated subsidiary of LSEG, effective from next year.
Meanwhile, Denzil Jenkins will continue as interim CEO of London Stock Exchange plc until Hoggett joins the group to ensure a smooth transition.
In her new capacity as CEO, Hoggett will report to Murray Roos, group director, capital markets, LSEG.
Hoggett joins London Stock Exchange plc from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) where she was most recently director of market oversight, having previously led the Wholesale Banking Supervision Department.
Prior to joining the FCA in 2014, she spent four years at Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) as managing director and head of the FIG Flow Financing Business for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), head of covered bonds for EMEA and head of short term fixed income origination in EMEA.
Hoggett also played a role in heading up BAML’s green debt capital markets efforts in EMEA during her time there.
Before BAML, Hoggett was board member and latterly CEO of DEPFA ACS Bank and managing director and head of capital markets for the DEPFA BANK Group. She began her career as an investment banker in debt capital markets at J.P. Morgan.
Hoggett commented: “Having spent my entire career in capital markets, I know the key role they play in providing vital capital to companies and institutions and delivering returns for individual and institutional investors.”
She continued: “I am delighted to be joining London Stock Exchange plc, and the wider group, at a time when London’s role as a global financial centre is so important. Clean and transparent markets are the underpinning of a vibrant and dynamic marketplace and will remain a huge focus.”
Roos said: “Julia Hoggett brings to the group a deep understanding of primary and secondary markets from both the regulatory and commercial sector.”
“I look forward to working with Hoggett as we continue to build on our position as a leading financial markets infrastructure business and the world’s international exchange,” added Roos.
