Hi, Jason Koulouras, or Jason K as well, I am delighted to be a customer of Neudata and involved in the alternative data space.  Recently, Neudata requested me to step up my engagement, resulting in me being here today as part of this distinguished panel.

‍

I have 38 years of working experience in the capital markets, of which the past 28 years relate directly to the Market, Research and Reference Data practices. Combining vendor, sell-side, buy-side, and exchange experience, my intent is to bring a quality voice from the buyside/consumer camp that is both advocacy leading and practically workable, striving to bring both relationship management and longer-term perspective as the essential attributes and goals.

‍

The most rewarding aspect of my professional opportunities is my commitment to take calls, with folks seeking to enter/transition into the capital markets industry, as part of my core values of helping people.  At its core, I design my role as Servant-Leader, something I had an idea of what that was in the mid-90’s and have continued to evolve, refine, and grow over time.  To close, I also love reading books, especially about subjects I have little or no understanding of, to constantly push the horizon broader of realizing how much I don’t know, achieving continuous growth and learning.  

‍

Thank you for indulging me in this opportunity to speak today and I’m happy to speak to anyone later today or reach out to me via LinkedIn.
