These appointments, supporting Risk Global’s business units – Chartis Research, Risk.net, FX Markets and WatersTechnology – will enable the company to deepen client relationships and expand its franchise in the US.

“I am delighted to announce these appointments in our team, “said David Pagliaro, Executive Director, Risk Global. “They are exceptional leaders who share our vision and values, and who will help us achieve our strategic goals in the US.

In this newly created role, Chambers will head revenue growth efforts in the Americas region and for Chartis. He will also lead efforts to innovate by driving collaboration across sales, marketing, and operational teams to enhance best practices and implement new products. Finally, he will be instrumental in helping develop products and services that address clients’ evolving needs for premium content, robust insights, and practical research-driven business outcomes.

Chambers is an established business leader with 25 years’ experience in advisory, capital markets research, market analysis, go-to-market strategy for derivatives, ETFs and fixed income products, and financial services technology from front to back-end.

“Risk Global brands have long been a trusted source for expertise and valuable offerings in financial services,” Chambers said. “I’m thrilled to start this new chapter in bringing our products to market and accelerating commercial success across our offerings.”

“I’m excited to leverage my global financial markets expertise to identify opportunities in the largest capital markets in the world,” Lee said. “I look forward to working with the incredible US team to produce large-scale events that bring the industry together and create business value for clients.”

Alexa McCloughan has been appointed Director of Research & Advisory at Chartis Research and is based in New York City.

In her new role, McCloughan will set the global research agenda and support clients with solving critical business issues.
