Eurex Frankfurt AG announced today that Eric Leupold will succeed Robbert Booij as CEO of Eurex effective January 1, 2027. The leadership change follows Robbert Booij’s decision not to seek an extension of his Executive Board mandate.  

Robbert Booij’s tenure at Eurex was marked by record performance, substantial growth, and disciplined cost management. His leadership was pivotal in integrating Eurex Exchange and Eurex Clearing into a unified, client-centric organization. Eric Leupold currently serves as Managing Director Cash Market and Chief of Staff of the Trading & Clearing Division. He began his career at Deutsche Börse Group in 2009 and has held various senior leadership roles, including positions in DB1 Ventures, Cash Market, and Trading & Clearing Strategy. 

Thomas Book, Executive Board Member of Deutsche Börse Group, comments: 

"I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Robbert Booij for his outstanding leadership and dedication to Eurex. He has been instrumental in driving our growth and strengthening our position as a leading global derivatives exchange. His commitment to our clients and to fostering a collaborative spirit within the organization has been invaluable. 

I am excited to welcome Eric Leupold to his new role. His deep understanding of our business and extensive experience across Deutsche Börse Group make him the ideal successor to lead Eurex into its next chapter of innovation and growth. I am confident that under his leadership, Eurex will continue to thrive and deliver exceptional value to our clients and stakeholders."
