Leupold to leave DB1 by September

Eric Leupold has been promoted to run cash markets at Germany-based stock exchange operator Deutsche Börse leaving a vacancy to be filled at its corporate venturing unit in September this year.

Leupold had been managing director of DB1 Ventures since January 2020 as well as head of group venture portfolio management for its parent company.

Paul Hilgers, managing director of Deutsche Börse’s Cash Market subsidiary since September 2020, said he will leave the company at his own request at the end of August for family reasons, adding: “For the time being I am still here [at DB1]. From [September] there will be someone else.”
