SIX has appointed Bjørn Sibbern as CEO, effective 1 January 2025. He replaces Jos Dijsselhof, who has held the role since 2018.
The exchange reported €848.5 million in total operating income over H1 2024.
Sibbern has been with SIX since the start of the year as global head of exchanges and a member of the executive board. With more than 20 years of experience, he served as president of European markets at Nasdaq before joining the group. Alongside this, Sibbern sits on a number of boards including the BME board of directors.
Dijsselhof will depart the company at the end of February 2025, joining an as of yet undisclosed Middle East-based firm.
Thomas Wellauer, SIX chairman, stated: “We have been able to appoint a proven and highly connected capital markets expert from our ranks as new CEO. Bjørn has the necessary international expertise and leadership qualities to further pursue and accelerate the growth path of SIX.”
Earlier this year, head of SIX Swiss Exchange Christian Reuss stepped down after more than a decade in the position. The role is currently held in an interim capacity by Werner Bürki, head of trading.
