Swiss Info revealed that Martin Halblaub, the CEO of SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) is leaving at the end of August over strategic differences. Halblaub has been an advisor to SIX since 2016 and became CEO of SDX in January this year. Apparently, the difference related to whether SDX would be part of the same company or a separate entity. Halblaub believed SDX should be independent.
“I fully support SDX’s ambition and business model and would have loved to lead SDX into the future. However, I have decided with a heavy heart – given our differing ideas on strategy, combined with the stretch the role is for my life model – that I cannot engage in a long term commitment as Head of SDX,” Halblaub is quoted as saying in an internal memo.
Halblaub was previously with Norddeutsche Landesbank and before that was President of the Hannover Stock Exchange for two years. He will be replaced on an interim basis by Tomas Kindler, who is currently SIX’s Head Business Management & Services Securities & Exchanges. Kindler is an eight-year veteran with SIX and in 2014/15 he was also chairman of Oslo Clearing.
