Alternative Data Specialist Ian Webster Joins Neudata as Senior Vice President

"I am delighted to join the incredible team at Neudata. Neudata have a fascinating position at the epicentre of the explosion in the number of funds using independently-produced research and data," said Webster. "In particular I'm excited about Neudata's opportunity to evolve the fragmented network of alternative data providers and investors into a well-structured marketplace, saving time and effort for all involved. Having run a data provider in this space for several years, I'm also keen to explore all the different ways we can help this side of the market."

Webster holds an MA in Mathematics from the University of Oxford and a Saltire Fellowship in Entrepreneurship from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He most recently worked as the Chief Customer Officer at SaaS platform startup Big Data for Humans, leading the commercial activities. Previously he led business development and sales to asset management firms as Director of the Investment Insights business at consumer finance firm, Money Dashboard.

"We are thrilled to have Ian join our growing bench of alt data experts as Neudata continues on its substantial growth trajectory," said Rado Lipuš, Founder and CEO of Neudata. "Ian understands first-hand how the proper use of new and interesting captured data can be smartly leveraged to generate alpha."
