OREANDA-NEWS. Deutsche Börse AG announced a change in the Global Public Affairs department. Frank-H. Klaas (57) will leave the company as of 31 March 2016.

Klaas has been responsible for Deutsche Börse‘s political communications since the beginning of 2013, as well as for the representative offices in Berlin and Brussels. He has chosen to leave the company to pursue new challenges on his own initiative.

“I would like to thank Frank Klaas for his help in positioning Deutsche Börse considerably in the political environment, especially at a time of major regulatory changes. His organisation of political communication has gained Deutsche Börse a lot of respect from the public and policymakers alike and we will continue to benefit from this impetus,” said Deutsche Börse CEO, Carsten Kengeter.

Global Public Affairs is part of Group Communications, Marketing & Public Affairs, which is headed by Senior General Manager Dr Matthias Fritton.
