Spankin' New Chair at Deutsche Börse's AGM
New chairwoman appointed for Deutsche Börse's supervisory board - German Stock Exchange Appoints New Leader
Get your seats and grab some popcorn, y'all! Deutsche Börse, the big kahuna of the German stock exchange, just got a fresh face—and it's a woman! Clara-Christina Streit (56) has replaced the old dog, Martin Jetter (66), and taken the reins of the Supervisory Board. After this year's Annual General Meeting, scandalously held in person for the first time since the COVID-19 apocalypse, the supervisory board of this DAX group unanimously elected Streit as their new Queen Bee.
Why all the kerfuffle, you ask? Well, they wanted to give their new CEO, Stephan Leithner, a soiree to introduce himself to the shareholders. You know, a chance to strut his stuff and prove his worth. And boy, has Deutsche Börse been on a roll! Thanks to those wild market swings and their financial product mojo, they're gunning for record profits. They're aiming for net profits of around 5.2 billion euros and operating profits of 2.7 billion euros for this very year.
Now, let's take a little stroll down memory lane. Back in December, Streit was hailed as Jetter's successor, who would've stuck around for another two years, but he bailed like a cat on a hot tin roof. Deutsche Börse officially confirmed Streit's ascension in December.
But who in the holly hell is Clara-Christina Streit, you ask? Well, she's a corporate governance goddess, known for her decades of experience on the boards of various national and international companies. She's been on Deutsche Börse's Supervisory Board since 2019. But that's not all, folks! She also chairs the Supervisory Board at real estate juggernaut Vonovia and sits atop the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code, which deals with the rules for proper corporate governance.
So there ya have it, folks! A new sheriff in town, steering the good ship Deutsche Börse towards record-breaking profits! Keep your eyes peeled for this powerhouse!
