GLEIF

As the business development manager for the Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF), I am focused on expanding the use of the LEI (and vLEI) within the private sector, in particular client on-boarding and know your customer processes of financial institutions, as well as the public sector, via collaborations with regulators and emerging business use cases like payments, digital strategies, supply chain, and sustainability. I also am an active member of the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee (financial services), Standards Advisory Group (SAG).

As a former senior manager at Bloomberg, I led the effort to bring the Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI) to the financial services industry. Seeing the need in the financial industry for a unifying symbology that could provide unique identification across the asset class silos, I originated and championed the efforts within Bloomberg to offer a global solution as a public good and open data standard (see www.openfigi.com).
