Market Infrastructure & Data Services
Agile advisory and delivery of creative, cross-industry talent solutions

As exchanges and data firms modernize how they consume and analyze data, they must simultaneously rethink their business models for the digital era. Among rampant consolidation and industry-wide efforts to realize ambitious diversity and inclusion initiatives, companies are seeking transformative talent that can bring new perspectives to enterprising market and platform-based businesses.

Heidrick & Struggles offers trusted guidance on vital human capital considerations – including executive search, M&A assessment, and culture shaping – for the world’s top exchange operators and market data providers. Tapping our expansive global best-in-class talent network across financial and other relevant sectors, we move quickly to present clients across the data and market structure industry with creative solutions for the board and C-suite, key business functions, and specialized technology and data-driven roles.

We believe in the opportunity of diversity to broaden the collective organizational perspective. In 2018, we pledged that at least 50% of our initial slate of longlisted board candidates would be diverse.
