“The challenge is that we don’t know where it will lead. Opportunities posed by new technology, look spectacular, and well, if I can contribute to its development for the forward Deutsche Börse Group. My team and I have strong motives to pass this way for Deutsche Börse, and I personally believe that it represents huge potential for our company,” said Hachmeister.
The new team assumes the project structure, two program Manager and leader, under whose supervision will develop various initiatives, including the creation of new market structures, products and expanding existing offerings.
