"My decision to leave CME Group after 26 years, including the past 10 years as CFO, is bittersweet. I am very privileged to have built my career at such a dynamic company with the strongest, most capable and talented colleagues in the industry.

It has been my pleasure and honor to be part of this team, and I am thrilled that John will be assuming the CFO role.
