“As the Lunar New Year approaches, and following up on last year’s announcement that I would not seek another term as HKEX CEO, I am pleased to report that the leadership transition has been going extremely well,” Aguzin said in a statement on the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday, which starts on Saturday.
“I have, therefore, decided to fully hand over the role of CEO as of 1 March to my successor, Bonnie Chan Yiting.”
Aguzin’s last day will now be on February 29, when he will announce HKEX’s 2023 annual result.
The bourse operator said on December 15 that Aguzin would not seek a renewal of his contract when it expires on May 23. Chan was named his successor the same day and will become HKEX’s first woman CEO.
Chan and other senior team members will “drive HKEX forward as a superconnector, enhancing its long-term commitment to businesses and investors around the world, further building on its vital role underpinning the stability of the global financial system”, Aguzin said.
