I lead product development for Nasdaq’s index business. I manage the creation of benchmarks for investment products across the spectrum of assets classes and geographies. My team works closely with asset manager clients to build rules-based methodologies and backtest models to ensure each new benchmark we launch is differentiated from competitor offerings and meets the goals of our clients and their investors. My team is also responsible for assisting the operations team in productionizing the new methodology and model, as well as aiding the research team in the ongoing creation of research content to support our indexes and associated investment vehicles.
