LONDON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neudata, a global leader in alternative and market data intelligence, today announced the appointment of Richard Barnett as Chief Product Officer. The appointment comes as Neudata increases its focus on product innovation and accelerates the development of new solutions in response to evolving client and market needs. Based in London, Richard joins Neudata's leadership team and will lead the company's product strategy, portfolio and roadmap.

Rado Lipuš, CEO and founder of Neudata, said: "Our ambition is to make Neudata one of the most innovative companies in the data intelligence market. Our deep understanding of both the data landscape and the needs of institutional investors gives us a unique perspective on how the market is evolving, particularly as AI creates new ways to use and derive value from data. Through initiatives such as the Neudata Innovation Lab, we want to move quickly to turn those insights into new products and solutions. Richard brings the experience, creativity and product leadership we need to accelerate that ambition."

With over 20 years of product leadership experience across financial information and B2B software, Richard has held senior product and digital leadership roles at Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, J.P.

At Neudata, Richard will lead the product management team and oversee the company's product portfolio, translating client needs and market insights into a clear roadmap for development and growth. He will work closely with the Neudata Innovation Lab to assess new opportunities and bring validated ideas into the roadmap. His initial priorities will include advancing Neudata Ranger, the company's market data intelligence product, helping clients evaluate market data providers and make more informed sourcing decisions.

Neudata's Innovation Lab brings together insights from across the company, its clients, partners and the wider data market to identify unmet needs, test ideas and validate opportunities for new products and features.

Richard Barnett said: "Neudata combines deep knowledge of the data market with a close understanding of what clients need. That's a strong foundation to build on. I'm looking forward to working with the team to develop products that help clients make better decisions about data, build on Ranger's capabilities and address new opportunities as the market evolves."
