The New York Stock Exchange has named Stacey Cunningham as its new President, marking the first time a woman takes the helm in the exchange's 266-year history.
She will succeed Thomas Farley as the NYSE's 67th president on Friday.
Farley is leaving to head a special purpose acquisition company.
Cunningham started her career at the world's largest exchange in 1994 and has been serving as its chief operating officer since 2015.
