Thomas Lenz has resigned with immediate effect from all Executive Boards of the Eurex Group and has stepped down from all managing director posts within Eurex. Eurex is one of the largest derivatives exchanges and is jointly operated by Deutsche Brse AG and SIX Swiss Exchange.
According to a Deutche Brse spokesman: He left at his own request to pursue his own opportunities. It was his independent decision to step down and leave the company.
Lenz left his numerous posts during the previous week, and his Eurex email account is no longer active.
As a Eurex Executive Board member Lenz was responsible for Operations. He held numerous management positions within the Group since 1997. His responsibilities will be assumed by Executive Board member Jrg Spillman on an interim basis, effectively immediately.
We regret Thomas Lenzs decision and would like to thank him for his longstanding contributions and commitment to the Eurex Group. We wish him all the best for his future career, said Andreas Preuss, CEO of Eurex.
