Refinitiv
Refinitiv, the global data provider which is the subject of a $27 billion takeover by the London Stock Exchange Group, has hired Cornelia Andersson as global head of M&A and capital raising. 

Andersson, a member of the I&A proposition leadership team, is based in London. She will report to Pradeep Menon, managing director of investing and advisory. She has joined from Blackstone, where she was senior vice president, global head of research and market data, leading the firm’s market data and business intelligence functions globally.

In this role, Andersson will lead the ongoing investment in Refinitiv’s I&A franchise, including the build out of its teams and technological tools available to its banking customers by expanding multiple data sets and content into the junior and senior banker workflow. 

Separately, earlier this year Leon Saunders Calvert, the previous head of investment banking, was promoted to head of sustainable investing and fund ratings, a newly-created role that brought together Refinitiv’s ESG sustainable investing and Lipper Fund Ratings businesses.

Anderson is a chartered information professional, FIA qualified and pursuing an MBA at Imperial College, London. She holds a master’s degree in political science from Lund University, Sweden./
