Euronext taps FCA for new head of market structure

Incoming executive previously served at the FCA, Bank of America Merill Lynch, Royal Bank of Scotland, CME Group, NYSE – Liffe and virt-x.

Euronext has selected a former Financial Conduct Authority individual to head up its market structure.

Samantha Page joins Euronext after seven and a half years at the UK Watchdog in its wholesale banking division.

Prior to joining the FCA in 2015, Page spent three years as a director in sales and marketing for futures and over the counter clearing at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and just under two years at Royal Bank of Scotland as a director in central counterparty clearing.

Previously she also spent two years at CME Group as an associate director in strategic sales, as well as four years in business development and four years in sales at NYSE – Liffe and virt-x respectively.

“We are delighted to announce that Samantha Page has joined our Euronext teams as head of market structure, a key function within the Group in order to further unroll Euronext’s strategic ambition to build the leading European market infrastructure,” Simon Gallagher, head of cash and derivatives at Euronext, told The TRADE.

“Samantha’s role will be instrumental. We chose Sam because she brings extensive experience in the regulatory and legislative arena, along with her background in the FMI space. As head of market structure for the Euronext Group, she will be participating in our existing engagement with regulators and with policy makers, working with our members on key joint initiatives, and representing Euronext and our members at key industry events.”
