(Reuters) -The London Stock Exchange Group on Monday named Michel-Alain Proch as its new finance chief, starting March 1, 2024.

Proch, who currently serves as group CFO of advertising group Publicis , takes on the role from Anna Manz, who stepped down in May.

Last week, LSEG, which owns London's 300-year old stock exchange, raised its mid-term growth guidance to "mid-to-high single" digits and said it would return a billion pounds to shareholders in 2024 as it looks beyond the integration of data and analytics company Refinitiv.
