CBOE's Walsh emerges as OneChicago ops head

Robert Walsh, vice-president of trade processing at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), will become managing director of operations for OneChicago, the joint venture created to trade single-stock futures by Chicago's three derivatives exchanges: the CBOE, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.

Walsh worked at the CBOE for 13 years, where he was instrumental in developing the exchange’s screen-based trading system, CBOEdirect. Previously he was director of product development for the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation. In his new role he will report to William Rainer, chairman and chief executive of OneChicago.

"Bill's team, combined with the support of the joint venture partners and the liquidity that our three memberships provide, will make OneChicago the place for customers to fulfill their investment needs," claimed Walsh.

Walsh’s appointment follows the decision by OneChicago to use CBOEdirect as its trading platform.
