ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) has appointed current employee, Chris Edmonds, to lead its fixed income and data services (FIDS) business segment.
Since 2010 Edmonds has held several pivotal roles at ICE, most recently serving as global head of clearing and risk. He is replaced by Elizabeth King, who joined ICE in 2014 following its acquisition of the NYSE.
Edmonds oversaw the company’s Credit Default Swap (CDS) clearing service during implementation of the Dodd-Frank Ac, and led ICE’s product sales teams in the areas of fixed income, commodities, and financial futures between 2013 and 2019.
Jeffrey Spreche, chair and CEO of ICE, comments: “Through the successive leadership of Lynn Martin, Amanda Hindlian, and now Chris Edmonds, our FIDS organisation has continued to grow and thrive as we serve our customers who depend on the tools and indices we provide.
“[I am] confident that Chris, distinguished as one of ICE’s most skillful operators, will lead our FIDS team to new heights as he joins our team in Atlanta.”
Commenting on his new role, Edmonds says: “During the last 13 years, I’ve been privileged to watch how ICE has become indispensable in connecting people to opportunity. Going forward, while we have long applied large language models to our user offerings, their broad adoption will accelerate our ability to deliver them an unparalleled user experience.”
