A former FN100 woman, who has played a “central” role in developing the London Stock Exchange's interest rate futures platform CurveGlobal, has left ahead of its launch in September.

CurveGlobal, which is backed by seven dealer banks and the Chicago Board Options Exchange as well as the LSE and was initially announced in October 2015, said in a July 21 statement that Cathryn Lyall, its chief operating officer, has left to pursue new opportunities.
