Data, analytics and indexes provider Morningstar has picked David Pagliaro as ESG research unit Sustainalytics’ Chief Strategy and Product Officer. In the new role, he will oversee the development and execution of plans to boost commercial success in key regions. Pagliaro joins from InfoPro Digital Group, where he spent more than six years as CEO of its information, data, analysis and benchmarking solutions arm, Risk Global. He was previously senior vice president and EMEA regional head of global exchange for US-based financial conglomerate State Street. Pagliaro also spent a decade at S&P Global in senior leadership roles, including market development, structured finance analytics, fixed income solutions, global product development and credit solutions. “We are pleased to welcome David to our team in this very pivotal role,” said Ron Bundy, CEO of Morningstar Indexes and Morningstar Sustainalytics. “His leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our global product strategy and deepening our commitment to sustainable investing. As our clients navigate an increasingly complex investment and regulatory landscape, we continue to expand our capabilities to better support them.” Last month, Morningstar selected Rob Edwards as Managing Director of Morningstar Indexes in EMEA, and named Catalina Secreteanu as Managing Director and Head of ESG Solutions for Sustainalytics Europe last May.
