London Stock Exchange Group said it has appointed Michel-Alain Proch as chief financial officer, effective from March 1.

The stock-exchange and financial-information company said Monday that Proch will join the board on Feb. 26 ahead of taking up the role. Current CFO Anna Manz will step down following LSEG's full-year results on Feb. 29.

Proch is currently CFO for Publicis Groupe. Prior to this, he has held several CFO positions, notably at Ingenico and Atos. He is also vice-chairman of the board of Maisons du Monde.

"[Proch's] deep experience across global, financial infrastructure and IT data solutions firms will be invaluable as we deliver against the next stage of our strategic growth," Chief Executive David Schwimmer said.
