Laurent Ortiz has been working in various positions at Deutsche Brse since the beginning of 2001. Ortiz will be appointed General Manager of Eurex Bonds and Eurex Repo.
Christian Klapproth will be working as a freelance project manager and consultant. Klapproth has been working for Deutsche Brse Group since 1995. In 2002, he took over as General Manager of Eurex Bonds GmbH, and in 2006, joined the management of Eurex Repo GmbH.
