“In a short time ULTUMUS has established itself as an innovation leader in the ETF and Index managed data service space using the latest technology to deliver its solutions to the Sell and Buy Side. It’s a hugely exciting company, with a proven team and I relish the opportunity to help ULTUMUS further its successes globally”, said Jane Lemmon.

Bernie Thurston, Chief Executive Officer at ULTUMUS, commented: “This new appointment underscores our commitment to continue to build the most experienced team in the industry. Jane will play an integral role in assisting customers in deploying our services while helping them efficiently and effectively integrate ETF and Index data at scale into their operations. We look forward to working with Jane to help our customers turn their data management functions into a competitive differentiator.”
