SimCorp, the fintech firm and subsidiary of German stock exchange operator Deutsche Börse, has named a former S&P senior figure Iyan Adewuya (pictured) in the newly-created role of chief product officer.

The business has been busy with high-level appointments – it named Peter Sanderson as CEO in August.

Adewuya, whose career spans both public and private markets, was most recently head of product for enterprise and private markets solutions within S&P Global Market Intelligence. Before this, he was head of product for Aladdin Portfolio Management & Compliance at BlackRock where he led the Aladdin private markets strategic initiative. His career also includes 12 years at Bloomberg, working in research and product leadership roles.
