LSE CEO Rolet to step down by end of 2018

London Stock Exchange Group Plc said on Thursday that its Chief Executive Officer Xavier Rolet will leave the bourse operator by the end of December 2018, just under a decade after he took the helm at the firm.

LSE said it would start looking for his successor now. The group also reported a 17 percent rise in third-quarter total income to 486 million pounds ($641 million), as its clearing and FTSE Russell businesses grew strongly.
