Euronext announced today that the Supervisory Board of Euronext NV has appointed René van Vlerken as CEO of Euronext Amsterdam and member of the Board of Directors of Euronext NV from 1 September 2024.
The announcement follows Simone Huis in ‘t Veld’s decision to step down as CEO of Euronext Amsterdam and Member of the Board of Directors of Euronext NV after five years to pursue new projects.
René van Vlerken, who is currently Head of Exchange for the Netherlands, Germany and Central and Eastern Europe at Euronext, will become CEO of Euronext Amsterdam from 1 September 2024, subject to relevant regulatory approvals. He will lead the Euronext Amsterdam teams.
Subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, he will also join the Board of Directors of Euronext NV.
René van Vlerken joined Euronext Amsterdam in 2017 as Head of Business Development for Small & Mid-Caps, before becoming Head of Exchange in early 2018. Since 2018 he has also been a member of the Board of Directors of Euronext Amsterdam. His experience prior to joining Euronext spans more than two decades through different commercial roles at ABN AMRO and Rabobank, in treasury and risk advisory, cash equities, equity funds and equity syndicates.
Stéphane Boujnah, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Euronext NV, said:
“We are pleased to propose the appointment of René van Vlerken as the next managing director and board member for Amsterdam. With his extensive experience acting as both a local Board member and Head of Listings, he has a keen understanding of market dynamics and strong relationships with local stakeholders. This makes him very well placed to lead the Euronext Amsterdam teams.
I would like to thank Simone Huis in ‘t Veld for her significant contribution to Euronext NV and her dedication and leadership to Euronext Amsterdam. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”
