The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has announced that Susi de Verdelon will become CEO of LCH Limited in February 2025, pending regulatory approval. She will succeed Isabelle Girolami, who is stepping down after leading the clearing house since November 2019. De Verdelon will report to Daniel Maguire, Group Head of LSEG Markets and CEO of LCH Group.

Currently Group Head of LCH SwapClear and Listed Rates, de Verdelon has been instrumental in expanding LCH’s services, reports LCH in a press release. Her leadership has included overseeing the resilience and growth of SwapClear, LCH’s interest rate derivatives clearing service, as well as the re-launch of the Listed Rates offering. She joined LCH in 2017 after holding senior sales and strategy roles at Goldman Sachs.

Daniel Maguire expresses confidence in de Verdelon’s ability to guide LCH Limited forward. “Susi has been pivotal in driving growth and navigating benchmark reforms. I look forward to continuing to work with her as we enhance our multi-asset class offerings and develop new services,” he says.

De Verdelon highlights her commitment to strengthening LCH’s position as a market leader. “I am excited to take on this responsibility and to drive innovation and efficiency for our customers and stakeholders,” she comments.

Girolami

The appointment comes as Girolami concludes a four-year tenure marked by significant regulatory and market developments. In December, it was announced that Girolami would leave the UK clearing house to join banking group NatWest as head of corporate and institutional banking, a newly created role. This transition is expected to take place in the spring of 2025.
