LSE hires former Lehman exec to succeed Clara Furse

Xavier Rolet

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has named Xavier Rolet, former head of investment bank Lehman Brothers’ French operation, as its next CEO, replacing Clara Furse.

Rolet will join the LSE’s group board on 16 March, and take the helm from Furse on 20 May, ending her eight-year tenure as the exchange’s CEO. Furse will remain a director of the group until its annual general meeting in July.

Rolet served as a senior executive of Lehman Brothers (Europe) – now owned by Japanese investment bank Nomura – between 2000 and 2008, most recently as CEO of Lehman France. Before joining Lehman, Rolet held senior equity trading positions at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, Credit Suisse First Boston and Goldman Sachs.
