Amzeal News/10574817
LONDON, Sept. 5, 2024 ~ EIU Announces Three Senior Leadership Appointments
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the business information arm of The Economist Group, has recently made three significant appointments to its senior leadership team. These appointments are expected to bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the company, further solidifying its position as a leading provider of macroeconomic forecasts and insights.
Constance Hunter, formerly the executive vice president and global head of strategy and ESG at AIG, has been appointed as the new chief economist. With her extensive background in economics, investment, and leadership, Ms. Hunter is well-equipped to take on this role. She will be based in New York and will play a crucial role in driving the company's growth in the United States.
Prior to joining AIG, Ms. Hunter served as the chief economist at KPMG, where she was also a member of the pension advisory committee and growth and strategy leadership team. Her track record includes accurately identifying economic inflection points such as Russia's devaluation, the US mortgage crisis, and the impact of COVID-19 on China and the global economy. Ms. Hunter's leadership skills have also been demonstrated through her past presidency and board membership at the National Association for Business Economics and current board membership at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Joining Ms. Hunter is Ross Bailey, who will take on the role of global head of data and content at EIU. Mr. Bailey brings over 20 years of experience in developing and managing data products for financial and risk communities. His most recent position was as global head of data platform at LSEG, where he played a pivotal role in developing a strategy to transform data discovery, delivery, and management for market clients. Prior to LSEG, Mr. Bailey held leadership roles at Refinitiv and Thomson Reuters.
Both Ms. Hunter and Mr. Bailey will report directly to Leon Saunders Calvert, president and managing director of Economist Intelligence. Mr. Calvert expressed his excitement about the new appointments, stating, "Our expertise in providing macro forecasts to inform policy and global capital flows is already well established and award-winning. With this team, we add industry-leading expertise in data and technology required to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of financial markets clients."
The third appointment is Shantanu Lodh, who will take on the role of director of engineering at EIU. Mr. Lodh joins the company from Shawbrook Bank, where he held the position of director of data platforms. With his extensive experience in building and leading modern technology platforms for macroeconomic and financial markets forecasting, Mr. Lodh is expected to bring valuable insights to EIU's operations. He will report into the technology office of The Economist Group, led by Michael Fleshman.

These appointments are a testament to EIU's commitment to providing top-notch services and expertise to its clients. With Ms. Hunter's leadership in the US market and Mr. Bailey's expertise in data and content management, along with Mr. Lodh's technological prowess, EIU is well-positioned for continued growth and success in the future.
