Xavier Rolet

CEO, London Stock Exchange

As CEO of the London Stock Exchange since 2009, Frenchman Xavier Rolet has taken the world’s oldest exchange from 17th to third-largest in the world. Rolet grew up on a ‘sink’ estate in the banlieues of Paris and set his sights on studying business in America at the age of 12 after reading that the average starting salary of their graduates was £300 a month, which seemed a fortune. Having served as a second lieutenant and an instructor at the French Air Force Academy, Rolet travelled to America and studied for his MBA at Columbia University. He held senior positions with Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston before joining the board of the LSE.
