Cunningham joined the NYSE nine years ago and became the exchange’s first female president in 2018. According to the Wall Street Journal, “She looked at the ICE leadership a few months ago to continue her career, said a person familiar with the matter.”
“Stacey led the NYSE through an extraordinary era in which its technology was resilient and its trading systems thrived in even the most tumultuous times,” spokesman wrote in a memo to staff. “She begins a new chapter with the stock market, better and stronger for her tireless efforts and with our deepest thanks.”
