Ex-CLS chief leaves ICE clearing house

Robert Close, the former chief executive of foreign-exchange settlement specialists CLS Group, has stepped down from his board role at ICE’s European clearing house after nearly two-and-a-half years.

Close had been an independent director of ICE Clear Europe since late 2012, having previously retired from CLS in 2010. He also chaired the clearing house's board risk and foreign exchange product risk committees.
