The changing face of markets Cees Vermaas, CEO at The International Stock Exchange Group I see myself as a ‘global’ citizen that, through my work over the last 20+ years, has developed a deep experience of capital markets and exchanges. At the beginning of this century I was part of the creation of Euronext that resulted a few years later in leading its European cash market from Paris before I became CEO of Euronext Amsterdam, the globe’s oldest stock exchange. I have also worked for US exchanges such as CME Group, for which I have been leading CME Group’s European derivatives exchange from London. My most recent move was late last year to Guernsey, in the Channel Islands, to lead The International Stock Exchange (TISE).
