Fletcher-Manuel's Revenue Mandate at Neudata

Fletcher-Manuel will oversee sales, account management and go-to-market execution across Neudata's products and services. The company said his priorities include strengthening the commercial organisation, expanding relationships with existing and prospective clients, and driving revenue growth across its product portfolio. He will also work with product and research teams to identify new market opportunities and ensure client insights shape new products and services.

He brings more than 15 years of commercial leadership experience across financial information, investment research and data businesses. Fletcher-Manuel joins from Third Bridge, where he spent more than six years, most recently as Head of Commercial for Public Equities & Credit across Europe and North America. In that role he led a commercial organisation of approximately 90 people across Sales, Account Management and Client Success. Previously, he spent more than nine years at Acuris (Mergermarket) in senior commercial and client relationship management roles.

Rado Lipuš, CEO and founder of Neudata, said: "Tom brings extensive experience in growing financial information businesses, leading international commercial teams and building strong client relationships." Fletcher-Manuel said: "With AI transforming how data is discovered, evaluated and used, there's a real opportunity to bring Neudata's expertise and solutions to more clients and explore new ways of delivering value."
