FactSet has appointed Joel Kornblum to work with the partnerships and alliances team to help expand the firm’s ecosystem.
The firm administers open data and software solutions to global investment professionals, providing instant access to financial data and analytics for investor decision-making.
Kornblum has extensive experience across the end-to-end investment operational process, including investment data management, performance measurement and investment accounting.
He previously served at Eagle Investment Systems, joining in 2001 as vice president of sales, where he was responsible for developing and implementing the sales and marketing strategy to introduce Eagle in Canada.
Other successive roles at Eagle include regional sales director and global head of strategic alliances and consultant relations.
Following Eagle’s acquisition by BNY Mellon, Kornblum held the position of global head of strategic alliances and consultant relations for the bank’s data and analytics solutions, including OMNI digital services.
Commenting on his appointment via LinkedIn, Kornblum says: “I am excited to be joining Factset, where I will be working with the partnerships and alliances team to help expand Factset’s ecosystem. I look forward to working with and further collaborating with so many of you in the near future, while also building new relationships.”
Reflecting on his time at Eagle/BNY Mellon, he adds: “I am fortunate to say that many of the relationships with work colleagues, clients, partners, and consultants have grown into lifelong friendships. These experiences have enriched my work and personal life, and I hopefully have enriched theirs as well.
“I am grateful to have learned from some of the best and most talented leaders and experts in our industry, and I am proud to have contributed to our collective success along the way, sharing experiences and paying it forward.”
