Evan Reich, Head of Data Strategy at Nasdaq’s Quandl, Joins Helios Advisory Board

NEW YORK, January 5, 2022 - Pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, Helios Life Enterprises, has selected Evan Reich, Head of Data Strategy and Sourcing of Quandl, to the company’s advisory board.

“We welcome Evan as a Strategic Advisor and we look forward to his advice and admonition. Evan is a veteran in alternative data, with over ten years of buy-side experience, and will provide a large range of valuable experiences and perspectives that will help Helios navigate the future," said Mike Martin, Helios' Head of Technology. “Evan is as accomplished as it comes when discussing creating valuable products from unique data. His deep knowledge of the buy-side and how investors can best leverage alternative data sources will make him an invaluable asset to the Helios team. At Quandl, largest provider of alternative data to financial professionals, Reich leads all aspects of data strategy and sourcing as Head of Data Strategy and Sourcing.”

Prior to Quandl, Reich sourced and managed alternative data, market data, and reference data at BlueMountain Capital - $22 billion multi-strategy hedge fund – as the Global Head of Data Strategy. In this role, Reich served quant and fundamental groups across all asset classes globally. In addition, Reich managed data vendor relationships and oversaw data engineering.

Reich was among the first data engineers at Millennium Partners, a global alternative investment management firm, working across capital markets in private equity, investment banking research, and expert networks. Reich was also a contributor to the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) – used to view gravity waves.

Evan Reich gives his thoughts on joining the Helios crew, "Helios represents an entirely new category of enhanced fundamental data for funds looking to fully complement their existing alternative data. Any of the thousands of hedge funds with equity strategies should be taking a closer look. We all know being tone-deaf is a negative quality when trying to interpret a message so why wouldn't you want to incorporate tone data into your portfolio?"

With the addition of Evan Reich, Helios will have several key Strategic Advisors who represent various domains (sales, product, Wall Street buy-side) within the world of alternative data.
