Phupinder S Gill

Following the close of the merger on July 12, 2007, CME Group President Phupinder Gill, along with CME Group Chief Operating Officer Bryan Durkin, sat down with CME Group Magazine to discuss the vital task of integration. Gill has held several leadership positions during his tenure with CME, including president of CME Clearing from 1998 to 2003 and president and COO from 2004 through the close of the merger. Serving as executive vice president and COO at CBOT, Durkin was responsible for maintaining the organization's clearing relationship with CME, as well as its trading operations. Now that integration is well underway, Gill and Durkin discuss their plans for a smooth transition and what to expect in the months ahead.
