Commenting on his appointment, Weisbrod said: “LCH.Clearnet is at the forefront of counterparty risk management for its users and has a great platform to build on for growth in the US, particularly with the success of SwapClear. I am excited to work for an industry leading CCP, which is well placed for the new regulatory and competitive world in which it operates.”
