Louise Green joins as VP Marketing after Chris Crang’s departure to Moody’s ESG
In 2021, Solidatus made other key hires to make the most out of the £14 million February fundraiser. The firm announced David Northmore as Vice President of Sales and Chris Crang as Vice President of Marketing.
Chris Crang eventually left in August 2021 in order to join Moody’s ESG solutions as VP of Marketing & Engagement. Louise Green was hired to replace Crang in Solidatus’ marketing efforts.
David Northmore joined Solidatus following eight years as Area VP at MarkLogic and will focus on developing new processes and scaling the team as the business expands both domestically and overseas while maintaining its established reputation for fuelling positive client outcomes.
Also in 2021, Solidatus appointed ex-HSBC Lorraine Waters as Chief Data Officer to champion the platform and engage with key stakeholders including current and future clients, regulators, and strategic partners.
She will also develop the product to meet stakeholder needs, market opportunities, and upcoming challenges, as well as support the business in the areas of data privacy, ESG, and financial crime risk management.
Ms. Waters joins Solidatus from HSBC, where she played a number of roles, including Chief Data Officer for Global Compliance, Financial Crime and Regulatory Compliance, Interim Chief Data Officer (US), and Group Head of Data Governance and Deputy Group CDO.
Solidatus will leverage her unrivaled knowledge of facing data complexity issues within a large multinational organization, which also includes her experience as Global Head of Data Management at RBS, and sitting on many industry forums and advisory boards, such as the EDM Council.
