Preqin, the alternative asset industry’s provider of indispensable data, has hired Dmitri Sedov as chief product and marketing officer.
Prior to joining Preqin, Sedov was a managing partner at Evocado Ventures, a venture firm which focuses on sustainability fintech.
Sedov has previously worked as head of innovation at S&P Global and has held senior leadership roles in strategy, product development, and marketing across S&P Global’s various platforms.
The newly created role has united Preqin’s product, marketing, and communication functions, and the appointment comes as Preqin expands its data capabilities.
Mark O’Hare, CEO of Preqin, commented: “We are extremely pleased that Sedov has joined Preqin’s executive team. Preqin’s alternative assets intelligence, benchmarks and fundraising data have been at the forefront of the alternatives industry for more than a decade.”
“We are looking beyond data to develop due diligence, portfolio monitoring and deal origination solutions. With Sedov’s experience in venture capital and at large-scale financial information providers, I believe he is ideally placed to lead this new chapter in Preqin’s product innovation.”
Commenting on his new role, Sedov added: “I think it is an especially exciting time to join an innovative fintech like Preqin. We play a vital role in the market by bringing greater efficiency and transparency to a financial sector that has historically ranked among the most opaque.”
“With our focus on leveraging emerging technologies to enhance our award-winning data and solutions, I think clients will increasingly consider Preqin as the home of alternative assets, acting as their trusted and indispensable guide through the maze of the industry.”
