Details
In his sixteen-plus years as Chairman and CEO, Brodsky oversaw a period of tremendous growth for the company as well as significant technological and product innovation, including development of the exchange’s popular CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) options and futures. He successfully guided CBOE through its demutualization, whereby the exchange converted its business model from a membership organization to a for-profit corporation, which culminated in the company’s initial public offering (IPO) in June 2010. In the three-year span from the IPO to the conclusion of his tenure as Chairman and CEO, the company produced record revenues, operating margin and net income, and returned more than $700 million in capital to stockholders.
In July 2013, Brodsky was named Chairman of Navy Pier, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation established to maintain the Pier’s historic landmark status and oversee its redevelopment. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Northwestern Memorial Hospital and as a director of WEC Energy Group, an S&P 500 company. He is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's International Advisory Committee, the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago and a trustee of Syracuse University.
This is a unique speaking followed by a chance to mix with attendees from Booth afterwards. This is an event that you do not want to miss!
