New Combined Unit Will Strengthen Sales, Technology and Customer Offering
NEW YORK, 2013-01-29 14:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced the company will
combine its Global Data Products and Global Index businesses. The combination
will enable greater customer focus and leverage of NASDAQ OMX's scalable
technology, product innovation and robust distribution channels. The new
business will be led by John L. Jacobs, Executive Vice President of NASDAQ OMX,
and operate under the name Global Information Services.
'Combining these business areas allows us to better take advantage of the sweet
spot they inherently both share: distribution of data and the delivery of
innovative products that provide market insight and transparency,' said Bob
Greifeld, President and CEO, NASDAQ OMX. 'In addition, our product development
and strategic expertise will enable us to broaden this offering as we strive to
become one of the top global information providers in the financial services
industry.'
Currently, Global Data Products delivers historical and real-time market data
to 2.5 million financial professionals and individual investors in 83 countries
worldwide. NASDAQ OMX has been creating innovative and transparent indexes
since 1971. Today, there are over 7,000 products based on NASDAQ OMX indexes,
spanning different geographies and asset classes with nearly $1 trillion in
notional value.
NASDAQ OMX intends to treat the combined Global Data Products and Global Index
businesses as a separate reporting segment effective January 1, 2013. The
business unit will represent approximately 20% of NASDAQ OMX's total annual
revenues.
'Indexes and data continue to represent a significant opportunity for us, and
our customers span virtually every segment of the financial services industry,'
said Mr. Jacobs. 'More importantly, the combined business unit will enable us
to leverage the recent technology investments and improvements we have made in
these areas to deliver more data and indexes faster, across more asset classes,
and at lower cost than ever before.'
Mr. Jacobs previously oversaw the Global Index Group and was Chief Marketing
Officer for NASDAQ OMX since 2003. As part of the transition, the company has
named Jeremy Skule to the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing
Officer, reporting directly to Mr. Greifeld. Mr. Skule joined NASDAQ OMX in
October 2012 as Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications.
