THE LONDON Stock Exchange has flown in a new chief financial officer from Paris, and he'll be on more than three-quarters of a million pounds a year.

Michel-Alain Proch (pictured) was announced in the new role this morning, joining in February next year, as Anna Manz will step down, after three years.

He joins the company from Publicis Groupe SA and will relocate from Paris to London upon taking up the role.

At Publicis Groupe, he leads a global finance team across 100 countries, and previously held a number of CFO roles at listed companies. Michel-Alain Proch called it "an exciting time to be joining LSEG as the Group continues its transformation as a leading global financial markets infrastructure and data provider".
