The Supervisory Board of the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) revealed on Thursday evening that it has moved to re-elect Yury Denisov as Chairman of the Executive Board.
The move will see Denisov stay at the helm, with his current tenure set to expire on May 12, 2022. However, the Supervisory Board said it has already initiated the procedure for his re-election and approved his candidacy for election for an additional three-year term.
Denisov has been in the role of Chairman of the Executive Board at MOEX since May 16, 2019.
Chairman of the Moscow Exchange Supervisory Board, Oleg Viyugin, commented:
In accordance with best corporate governance practices, the Supervisory Board of Moscow Exchange considered re-electing the head of the Exchange well in advance of the expiry of his term of office. Under the leadership of Yury Denisov, the Exchange is successfully rolling out projects to introduce new products and services as part of Strategy 2024.
Denisov graduated from Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) in 1993, having specialised in international economic relations.
