LONDON & NEW YORK & AMSTERDAM & SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, announced the succession of new leaders to serve as its presidents of several of its key futures exchanges, including ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures U.S., ICE Futures Singapore, and ICE Endex, among other roles announced today.

�ICE has always benefitted from creating and cultivating a deep bench of talent across our global operations, allowing us now to elevate the next generation of leaders of several of ICE�s exchanges around the world,� said Trabue Bland, President of ICE Futures U.S. �These new presidents have broad experience in the markets and will assume responsibility of running our exchanges in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, serving market participants with benchmark prices across almost every asset class.�

Chris Rhodes will become President of ICE Futures Europe on July 1, 2022. Rhodes succeeds Stuart Williams who, as announced last year, will become ICE�s Chief Operating Officer (COO). Rhodes served most recently as COO of ICE Clear Europe and prior to that as Global Head of Financial Derivatives between 2015 and 2019.

Effective August 1, 2022, Jennifer Ilkiw will become the next President of ICE Futures U.S., succeeding Trabue Bland, who is assuming a new position overseeing ICE�s Futures Exchanges globally.
