(Vienna) Wiener Börse AG and the exchange holding company, CEESEG AG, announce today that the new management board team is now complete, with Christoph Boschan (38) assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Wiener Börse AG.

“For me Austria is an attractive location with lots of companies of international repute, deep know-how and first-class human capital. This is why I believe the Austrian capital market and the Vienna Stock Exchange have enormous potential. I am planning to take advantage of these strengths and work together with the team to put the company in a strong competitive position,” said Christoph Boschan, CEO of Wiener Börse AG and CEESEG AG.
Mr. Boschan’s colleagues on the management team, Ludwig Nießen and Petr Koblic, assumed their new roles on 1 June 2016. As Chief Operating and Technology Officer (COO/CTO), Ludwig Nießen (58) is responsible for operations and technical exchange operations. Petr Koblic (45) is chief financial officer (CFO) of the Vienna Stock Exchange and chairman of the management board of the Prague Stock Exchange. The three board members together constitute the management team of the holding company, CEESEG AG, and of its two subsidiaries Wiener Börse AG and the Prague Stock Exchange (Burza cenných papίrů Praha, a. s.). This strengthens the existing relationship between Vienna and Prague. A video with the two experts will also be made available on www.wienerborse.at in the coming weeks.
