The New York Stock Exchange is shaking up the company's leadership teamÂ with announcements of new president and chair.

Lynn Martin, currently the president of Intercontinental Exchange's fixed income and data services business, has been appointed the next president of the NYSE, succeeding Stacey Cunningham.

Sharon Bowen, an ICE and NYSE Board Member, will become the next chair of the NYSE. Bowen was a former commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Cunningham, the 67th president and the second ever female president of the exchange, will join the board of directors of the NYSE. Cunningham first came to the NYSE about nine years ago when ICE announced its $8.2 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext.

"Stacey led the NYSE through an extraordinary era that saw its technology prove resilient and its trading systems thrive in even the most turbulent times," Jeff Sprecher, founder, chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, said in a statement. "She begins a new chapter with the Exchange better and stronger for her tireless efforts, and with our deepest thanks."

The NYSE is operated by the electronic trading groupÂ Intercontinental Exchange, which acquired it in 2012.

Intercontinental Exchange reported stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter. The stock is up about 13%, lagging the broader market, however.
