London Stock Exchange CFO Manz to depart

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has confirmed that chief financial officer Anna Manz will depart the organisation next year to take a similar position outside of the financial industry.

LSEG said that Manz will remain as finance chief until May 2024 at the end of her notice period, with plans to identify her successor underway.

Manz, who previously worked for Johnson Matthey, has held the position since November 2020 when she succeeded David Warren after he retired.

David Schwimmer, chief exec of LSEG said: “Anna has made an outstanding contribution to the transformation of LSEG. I wish her every success for her next chapter. We will work together in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition. The group is delivering on its strategy, and I look forward to making further progress this year and beyond.”

Don Robert LSEG chair said: “Anna is a valued member of the LSEG board and will be for some time yet. We will all wish her well for her next role when the time comes. The board is now undertaking a thorough search process and a further announcement will be made in due course.”

The news comes weeks ahead of the arrival of Satvinder Singh co-head for advisers at Mastercard's data & services business as the head of LSEG’s data and analytics unit.

The group is currently pursuing a plan to buy back its own stock from the Thomson Reuters/Blackstone consortium – stock which was exchanged as part of LSEG’s $27 billion acquisition of Refinitiv in January 2021. LSEG is undertaking a directed buyback programme which is expected to total £750 million by April 2024.
