Euroclear has appointed Valérie Urbain as group CEO, succeeding Lieve Mostrey after seven years.
Urbain will enter a transition period until the renewal of the Euroclear board member mandates on 3 May 2024. Thereafter, she will become group CEO.
Since joining in 1992, Urbain has held a number of roles across Euroclear.
As chief business officer of the group since 2021, Urbain currently has overall responsibility for Euroclear’s commercial and product development.
She also holds the position of executive director and member of the Euroclear Group management committee.
Urbain was previously CEO of Euroclear Bank, the Group's international central securities depository (ICSD).
Between 2009 and 2014, she was CEO of the Euroclear ESES central securities depositories (CSDs), namely Euroclear Belgium, Euroclear France and Euroclear Nederland.
Francesco Vanni d’Archirafi, chairman of the Euroclear Group, says: “Not only does [Urbain] bring unparalleled knowledge of Euroclear and its clients, but she has also been a key architect of its current business strategy.
“As she takes up the new role, the board will continue to support [Urbain] and her management team in their commitment to deliver value for our shareholders, clients, employees and the communities we serve.”
