The former chief executive of Standard Life has decided to leave the board of the London Stock Exchange Group, continuing a series of senior changes at the company in the last year.

David Nish, 58, who was chief executive of Standard Life from January 2010 to September 2015, will leave the LSE at the end of this month, the exchange said in a statement on November 21. The LSE said senior independent director Paul Heiden will replace Nish as chair of the audit committee until his own retirement from the board in 2019.
