The Jamaica Stock Exchange, JSE, began the transition to new leadership on Monday, closing out a two-decade run by Marlene Street Forrest, who twice took the Jamaican stock market to world leader status.
Her replacement, Livingstone Morrison, whose career background has mainly been in central banking and a long-time director of the stock exchange, became CEO of Jamaica Stock Exchange Limited on Monday, September 8.
However, Street Forrest’s tenure will run to September 30, when she officially retires and demits office as managing director.
Morrison, a chartered accountant, was once deputy governor of the Bank of Jamaica, and was most recently adviser to the governor of the Central Bank of Belize.
He has also served the JSE in the capacity of director, former deputy chairman, and former chairman of the exchange’s Regulatory & Market Oversight Committee.
