Changes in the SIX Executive Board

Javier Hernani was CEO of BME for many years until November 2024 and since the takeover of BME by SIX, has also headed the Business Unit Securities Services (Post Trading). In this role, he has successfully expanded the international post trading business and developed the business unit into one of the most important commercial pillars of SIX. José Manuel Ortiz, Head Clearing and Repo Operations, will take over the business unit on an interim basis from
1 February 2025 on until Javier Hernani’s successor has been appointed.

Jochen Dürr has headed the risk and security organization of SIX as Chief Risk Officer for ten years. Jochen Dürr also led the transformation program as part of the company's strategic realignment in 2017. By establishing and continuously developing a professional security organization, he has made a significant and lasting contribution to the stability and security of SIX. Markus Gumpfer, Head Risk Management, will take over the area from 1 February 2025 on as a Member of the SIX Executive Board (ExB).

Bjørn Sibbern, CEO SIX: “I would like to thank Javier and Jochen for their strong commitment to SIX. Not only have they both successfully built up and developed their respective units, they have also made a significant contribution to the successful international growth of SIX. In doing so, they have made a major contribution to the attractiveness of the Swiss and Spanish financial centers. At the same time, I would like to congratulate Markus for his new role as CRO and welcome him to the ExB. I would also like to thank José Manuel for his willingness to lead the Business Unit Securities Services on an interim basis. I look forward to working with both of them.”
