Today, ICE operates three regulated futures exchanges, an over-the-counter (OTC) credit market and five clearing houses globally.

As a power plant developer, Mr. Sprecher recognized the need among energy market participants for an accessible, standardized electronic marketplace for OTC energy contracts.

Mr. Sprecher's leadership has been characterized by a focus on innovation, transparency and capital efficiency in the global derivatives markets.

In December of 2012 ICE announced an agreement to acquire market operator NYSE Euronext. Regulatory and shareholder approvals are expected to be finalized in the second half of 2013.

In addition to expanding through acquisitions, Mr. Sprecher has focused ICE's resources on organic growth, including developing the industry's first cleared OTC contracts (2002), building the first new major clearing house in the U.K. in over a century (2008), and launching the world's leading clearing house for credit derivatives (2009).

Mr. Sprecher's leadership has been recognized by Businessweek, Institutional Investor and a number of other industry publications. He was selected as a finalist in Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year program in 2002 and by MarketWatch as one of five finalists in the "MarketWatch CEO of the Year" program in 2006.
