At its meeting on 7 April 2009 in Stockholm, the Board of Nordic Growth Market NGM AB (NGM) appointed Roger Peleback to be the new CEO of NGM with immediate effect. Peleback takes over from interim CEO Björn Wallin. Björn Wallin will resign from NGM and will set up a management consultancy business advising companies in the areas of going public, being public and especially regulation and compliance with NGM and other exchange rules.
Commenting on the appointment, Christoph Lammersdorf, Chairman of the NGM Board, observed: "We are confident that with Roger Peleback in charge we now have a management in place that will allow us to press ahead with the development of all the existing business areas. Peleback is a proven expert in the field of exchange trading and also has specialist knowledge in many areas. I would also like to express my gratitude to Björn Wallin, who stood in as interim CEO for what has been a constructive and very successful period of collaboration since the takeover of NGM by Boerse Stuttgart."
Since 2006, Roger Peleback (born 1970) has been Deputy CEO at NGM and has since its launch been Head of NDX, the securitised derivatives trading division of the Nordic Derivatives Exchange (NDX). New head of NDX will be Tommy Fransson, currently Deputy Head of NDX.
NGM is a regulated market for the listing and trading of equities and securitised derivatives where it is a leading Scandinavian market for trading in certificates and warrants.
Boerse Stuttgart, Europe's leading exchange organisation for private investors, became the sole owner of NGM on 27 November 2008. NGM plays a key role in Boerse Stuttgart's plans to develop the North European market.
