ATHENS, (Reuters) – The board of Hellenic Exchanges in Greece, which operates the equity and stock derivatives markets of Greece, has appointed Yiannos Kontopoulos to be its chief executive. This was in place of Socrates Lzaridis who resigned as CEO.

Kontopoulos was previously a managing director at UBS, Merrill Lynch, and is now a partner in the CQS Fund. He previously served as CEO of Eurobank Asset Management.

Hellenic Exchanges announced that the board unanimously approved its decision. Hellenic Exchanges had earlier this month signed a framework deal with the Bulgarian stock market (BSE), to clear, settle and trade derivatives.
