Antoine Shagoury
Chief Operating Officer
London Stock Exchange Group
Last year: 31
London Stock Exchange Group made a headlong dive into posttrade business with its May 2013 purchase of a controlling interest in LCH.Clearnet Group, and Antoine Shagoury has turned his attention squarely in that direction. Shagoury, 44, who became CIO of the London Stock Exchange’s parent in 2010 and added the COO title in 2012, says, “We want to be comfortable at every stage of the cycle, from product creation to transaction facilitation to settlement of the overall asset pool.” LCH.Clearnet accounted for £263 million ($438 million) of the group’s £1.1 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31. Before the posttrade pivot Shagoury was preoccupied with the now-complete but not altogether seamless migration of 12 trading venues onto the platform of MillenniumIT, a Sri Lanka–based subsidiary LSE acquired in 2009, of which Shagoury is chairman. Also now a posttrade play, MillenniumIT signed a major infrastructure deal with Singapore Exchange last fall. “We’re trying to leverage anything as a service if we have a capability,” the COO says. “The same platform used for trading can be modified and used for data and modified and used for clearing.”
