I was delighted to hear a few months ago that Ms Ronit Koren has joined Eagle Alpha as Chief Marketing Officer. Eagle Alpha is one of the pioneers of connecting alternative data, and as a long-term investor I was delighted to hear of Ronit’s parallel move from Audit Analytics.
Ronit previously held the role of Director of Partnerships at Audit Analytics, an alternative data provider of accounting and regulatory data, where she led the efforts to build strategic partnerships and the buyside vertical. As a consequence, she will bring a wealth of experience in the sector, having also served in senior roles as Chief Marketing Officer at Nigro Karlin Segal Feldstein & Bolno LLP and Head of Marketing at Fox Television Studios. She was nominated for the Women Making A Difference Award by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2013, and most recently, published in AccountingToday.
"I am very excited to join Eagle Alpha and the team. I have been working with Eagle Alpha over the past few years and always put them above others as the best alternative data solution for Audit Analytics," said Ms. Koren. "Coming from the vendor side I can provide a unique perspective to inform marketing initiatives. My role will be to drive Eagle Alpha's growth and market positioning as the alternative data solutions leader for the buyside, private equity and corporate verticals."
Established in 2012, Eagle Alpha is the ground breaking firm connecting the universe of alternative data. Alternative data is now being sought for use in the wider asset management space, as well as the private equity and corporate verticals, after its initial adoption by alpha-seeking hedge funds over 10 years ago. Eagle Alpha was one of the first companies to recognise the value from these new data sources and has been investing in, educating and connecting buyer and sellers of alternative data since 2012. Simultaneously it has developed and fostered trusted relationships with both sides of this market.
As of June 1st, 2020, Eagle Alpha partners with over 1,300 data vendors and data buyers across the buyside, private equity and corporates, government agencies and central banks. That Ronit has come from Audit Analytics will allow her to give Eagle Alpha a valuable insight into the ever-changing demands of the numerous data vendors the company has on its books.
"Ronit has a great understanding of the alternative data space given she has worked at a successful alternative data vendor. This experience will be invaluable to us, particularly as we strive to solve the challenges of vendors. We are delighted to welcome Ronit to the team," said Emmett Kilduff, CEO of Eagle Alpha.
