An announcement from Cboe Global Markets ( (CBOE) ) is now available.

On January 26, 2026, Cboe Global Markets announced a sweeping leadership reshuffle that will see long-serving Chief Operating Officer Chris Isaacson retire from his role effective March 6, 2026, after which he will remain with the company as an advisor and consultant through the end of 2026 under a retirement and consulting agreement governing his compensation and equity treatment. Scott Johnston, a veteran operations executive with more than four decades of experience at firms including Akuna Capital, Hudson River Trading, Citadel, Tower Research Capital, CME Group and UBS, will join Cboe on February 17, 2026 and is expected to assume the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer on March 7, 2026, with a pay package comprising a $550,000 base salary, annual incentives, a long-term equity grant and sign-on awards. Alongside the COO succession, Cboe named Heidi Fischer as Executive Vice President, Global Head of Equities and Spot Markets to oversee its global cash equities and spot businesses, promoted Alex Dalley to lead European Equities (subject to regulatory approval), expanded Jon Weinberg’s remit to head global FX and off-exchange trading, and introduced a regional office leadership model across Kansas City, New York, London and Amsterdam—moves that collectively tighten the firm’s operational focus, deepen specialist leadership in key asset classes and support its globalization strategy at a time of intensifying competition in exchange and off-exchange market infrastructure.
