Valérie Urbain joined Euroclear in 1992 as an Executive Director and is a member of the Euroclear Group Management Committee.. As the Group's Chief Business Officer, a role that she has held since 2021, she is currently responsible for the overall development of the Group's commercial and product strategy. The role Valérie has played in shaping the Group's business strategy and driving its implementation has been crucial to the success of the business. The focus she has put on client centricity has resulted in record levels of customer satisfaction and sustained business income growth among our clients in 2023 as a result of her leadership

Valérie worked for Euroclear Bank, which served as the Group's International Central Securities Depository (ICSD) before she became Chief Business Officer. She was the CEO of the Euroclear ESES Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) between 2009 and 2014, including Euroclear Belgium, Euroclear France, and Euroclear Nederland between 2009 and 2014. Valérie has also held a number of other positions at Euroclear, including Chief People Officer.  
According to Francesco Vanni d'Archirafi, Chairman of the Euroclear Group, the following statements were made:
It is my sincere pleasure to thank Lieve on behalf of all the Board members, the management and all of the staff for her significant contribution to the growth of the company. As a result of her tenure, Euroclear has been able to further expand its global footprint, enhance its fund offerings, particularly through the acquisitions of MFEX and Goji, strengthen its reputation as a systemic financial market infrastructure, and accelerate the creation of value for shareholders.
Valérie has also played a significant role in the success of Euroclear by serving as a key member of the leadership team. This is not only due to the fact that she has a wealth of knowledge about Euroclear and its clients, but also because she was a key architect of Euroclear's current business strategy. As a result, the Board is delighted with the appointment of such a strong internal leader, and is confident that she will be able to lead the company forward in the near future. As Valérie assumes her new role, the Board is committed to supporting her and her management team in their efforts to deliver value to shareholders, clients, employees, and the communities in which we operate, as well as to shareholders, clients, and employees.
