Guillaume Lawlor Named CEO of IncubEx Europe

LONDON & CHICAGO

IncubEx, a developer of exchange-traded environmental products, services, and technology solutions, is pleased to announce that Guillaume Lawlor has been named CEO of IncubEx Europe.  

Guillaume brings over 15 years of experience in financial markets, including more than 13 years dedicated to the environmental and energy sectors, with a strong focus on renewables, carbon, power, and biofuels. He most recently served as Head of Sales and Structuring at CFP Energy in London. Guillaume’s broad expertise spans commodities trading—both derivatives and physical—alongside credit, commodities finance, insurance, and technology. 

He works from IncubEx’s London office and reports to Dan Scarbrough, IncubEx CEO.   

“European environmental markets are the largest globally and are poised for tremendous growth with the onset of the EU ETS 2 and the adoption of exchange-based trading in products like Guarantees of Origin” said Dan Scarbrough, CEO of IncubEx. “Guillaume’s knowledge and experience will help us build and expand on what we’ve established in cooperation with EEX Group. We’re excited to have Guillaume join the IncubEx team.” 

“I am thrilled to have joined IncubEx, especially at a time when there is a strong mandate to accelerate the development of energy markets and renewables,” Lawlor said. “I look forward to working with our teams, partners, and clients to continue driving innovation and growth across the sector.” 

Prior to his tenure at CFP Energy, Guillaume held roles in investment banking at Société Générale, where he focused on credit structured products, and earlier served as a sales and project manager. He has also shared his expertise as a lecturer in capital markets and energy trading at ISG in Paris, where he earned his master’s degree in finance.  

IncubEx has worked in collaboration with EEX on environmental markets since 2017, including European Union Allowance (EUA) spot, futures and options as well as Guarantees of Origin (GO) futures. Additionally, IncubEx works with EEX’s North American subsidiary, Nodal Exchange, on a broad range of carbon, renewable energy certificate and renewable fuels futures and options contracts. Combined, EEX and Nodal Exchange hold the second-largest environmental exchange market share in environmental commodities by open interest and volume.
