On Friday 27 January 2026, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) announced the appointment of Maxime Aerts and Laetitia Hamon as new members of its Executive Committee, as well as Pierre Schoonbroodt as Deputy CEO, as part of changes to strengthen its leadership team.

According to LuxSE, these changes are aimed at further strengthening its commercial footprint and ensuring resilient operations, with the appointments subject to approval by Luxembourg’s financial supervisory authority, the CSSF.

“These senior appointments mark a natural next step in the ongoing implementation of our 2026 strategy, focusing on integrating our commercial activities and enhancing the resilience and efficiency of our operations,” stated Julie Becker, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of LuxSE. 

She added: “With this new leadership team, we are well positioned to connect traditional markets with digital finance, embrace AI, seize emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving regulatory and geopolitical landscape, and ensure that LuxSE continues to contribute to sustainable economic development for years to come.”

In recent years, the Exchange has “considerably strengthened its commercial activities” and increased its commercial teams to grow its market share and leadership position in international capital markets. To further develop and diversify these activities, all commercial teams will now be brought together under the leadership of Arnaud Delestienne, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).

To ensure efficient and resilient operations, LuxSE has created a new role and appointed Laetitia Hamon as Chief Operating Officer (COO). An internationally renowned sustainable finance expert, Laetitia Hamon joined LuxSE in 2020 as Head of Sustainable Finance and has led the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX) team and activities since then. In June 2025, she was promoted to Head of Operations and Sustainable Finance and took on responsibility for LuxSE’s International Primary Markets operations. In her new role, she will “gather all LuxSE’s business operations under her leadership.”

Maxime Aerts, LuxSE’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) since 1 November 2025, has been appointed as Member of the ExCo after acting as Observer since his interim CIO appointment in June 2025. He previously spent ten years at Fundsquare, a former LuxSE subsidiary, building in-depth expertise of the Exchange’s infrastructure and operations. He leads more than 70 experts in LuxSE’s IT department, ensuring a solid infrastructure for LuxSE’s markets. As a Member of the ExCo, the CIO helps make technological developments and opportunities “an integral part of all strategic discussions.”

Pierre Schoonbroodt, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of LuxSE since 2013 and member of the ExCo since 2016, has been appointed as Deputy CEO of LuxSE. He is responsible for LuxSE’s financial strategy, investment portfolio and leads the Exchange’s corporate and strategic developments, including mergers and acquisitions. In his new role, he will help “strengthen LuxSE’s international presence and visibility” and represent LuxSE alongside CEO Julie Becker.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, I would like to congratulate Pierre Schoonbroodt, Maxime Aerts and Laetitia Hamon on their new appointments. Over the years, LuxSE has demonstrated a remarkable ability to pioneer developments in international capital markets and gain market share in new regions and sectors. By strengthening its commercial footprint and expanding the Executive Committee, I am confident the Exchange will continue to advance on its growth path through innovation, operational efficiency and commercial dynamism,” commented Alain Kinsch, President of the Board of Directors of LuxSE.
