Prior to joining Euronext, Isabel gathered relevant experience in both private and public sector entities, namely in consultancy and as Head of Issuing and Markets for the Portuguese Debt Management office (IGCP), working with the issuers division of the CMVM and as economic advisor to the Prime Minister of Portugal.

Stéphane Boujnah said: “We are delighted to welcome Isabel Ucha to the Managing Board of the Group in her new position of CEO of Euronext Lisbon and CEO of Interbolsa. I am confident that Isabel will build on her knowledge of Euronext and the Portuguese ecosystem to successfully continue the momentum we have started to build for our customers, partners and employees in Portugal. I would like to thank Paulo Rodrigues da SIlva for his dedication to Euronext over the past two years and wish him luck in his new projects.”
