LCH.Clearnet Group Ltd., the world's largest clearinghouse for interest-rate swaps, said the chief executive officer of its CDSClear unit, Charlie Longden, has left.

Longden, one of the four business heads at the clearinghouse, ran the credit-default-swap business. The executive decided to leave to seek a new challenge, Kamyar Naficy, a spokesman for LCH, said, declining to comment further. Gavin Wells, the CEO of the company’s ForexClear service, will take on responsibility for the CDS business.
