Stronger structuring of the commercial division

In this context, the Bourse is continuing to structure its commercial division. All commercial teams will now be grouped under the responsibility of Arnaud Delestienne, chief commercial officer, with the aim of supporting the growth of international market share and diversifying activities.

At the same time, LuxSE is creating the position of chief operating officer (COO), entrusted to Laetitia Hamon. A specialist in sustainable finance, she joined the institution in 2020 and until now has overseen activities relating to the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX), as well as operations on the international primary markets. She will now be responsible for all group operations.

Maxime Aerts, Chief Information Officer since November 2025, is also joining the Executive Committee. With ten years’ experience at Fundsquare, he oversees the exchange’s technological infrastructure and manages a team of more than 70 experts. His appointment is aimed at integrating technology issues more closely into strategic decision-making.

For his part, Pierre Schoonbroodt’s role has been strengthened. As Deputy CEO, he will continue to oversee financial strategy and investments, while contributing to LuxSE’s international development and institutional representation alongside the CEO. He will also retain a key role in strategic developments, particularly in mergers and acquisitions.

“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 innovate in the international capital markets and to gain market share in new regions and sectors. By strengthening its commercial footprint and expanding its executive committee, I am confident that the exchange will continue its growth trajectory through innovation, operational efficiency and commercial dynamism,” commented Alain Kinsch, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Once regulatory approvals have been obtained, the executive committee will comprise Julie Becker (CEO), Pierre Schoonbroodt (Deputy CEO and CFO), Arnaud Delestienne (CCO), Maxime Aerts (CIO) and Laetitia Hamon (COO).

With more than 51,000 listed securities and a dominant position in international bonds, LuxSE is thus continuing to adapt its governance to an environment marked by digitalisation, increased regulatory requirements and the rise of sustainable finance.
