Eurex Clearing appoints Dmitrij Senko as Chief Risk Officer

Eurex Clearing, one of the world’s leading central counterparties (CCP) and part of Deutsche Börse Group, appoints Dmitrij Senko as Chief Risk Officer. Senko will take over from Thomas Laux on 1 July 2019.

Senko joined Eurex in 2010 after a career in management consulting. In 2013, he became Head of Risk Analytics and Model Validation in the risk department, reporting directly to Thomas Laux.

“It’s great news that Dmitrij has agreed to join the board,” says Erik Müller, CEO of Eurex Clearing. “Risk management is at the core of our business and is of special importance to Eurex Clearing. Dmitrij has been with us many years, and I am very happy that we will benefit from his expertise and deep knowledge in the years to come.”

Thomas Laux is leaving Eurex Clearing to start a new chapter of his life. He will work closely with Dmitrij Senko to ensure a smooth handover and seamless transition.

“Thomas Laux is an outstanding risk expert, and I thank him for his work and commitment over the last years,” says Thomas Book, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Börse. “He has played a major role in making Eurex Clearing what it is today. The most prominent example of his achievements is our industry-leading risk engine Prisma. With Dmitrij, we will build on this success and continue to innovate to deliver outstanding risk management services to the markets.”
