ISI Markets is pleased to announce the appointment of Wes Schmidt as Chief Revenue Officer for its Data & Analytics offerings (EPFR & CEIC) on a global basis. This announcement follows the successful acquisition of EPFR, a strategic move that further expands ISI Markets’ global intelligence platform and rebrands the company as ISI Markets.
The acquisition of EPFR enables ISI Markets to offer clients a comprehensive view of institutional and retail investor flows, fund manager allocations, and global market drivers, alongside its robust macroeconomic, industry, and financial market data. EPFR, renowned for its detailed global fund flows coverage, will operate alongside ISI Markets’ CEIC business.
Wes Schmidt, formerly Chief Revenue Officer at Alviere, a fintech company, and previously head of the strategic accounts sales team at LSEG (formerly Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk Division), brings extensive experience in managing relationships and executing sales strategies for both buy-side and sell-side clients. At LSEG, he managed global revenue across their top 50 clients. His expertise will be instrumental in advancing ISI Markets' sales operations and enhancing its service offerings within the financial services sector.
“I am thrilled to welcome Wes to our business. Wes’ experience leading a global financial services sales organization and track record of strategically partnering with leading buyside and sell-side customers positions him exceptionally well to drive the next wave of growth with our talented sales organization,” said Stephen Pulley, CEO of ISI Markets.
