Broadridge Financial Solutions (Broadridge) has appointed Anke Kneifel (pictured) to the role of channel partner manager, focusing on the EMEA region for the Fund Communication Solutions (FCS) business.

Ms Kneifel, based in the funds hub that is Luxembourg, joins from fund data specialists Kneip, where she worked for 16 years, most recently supporting large UK and Ireland-based asset managers with their data and regulatory reporting challenges.

“Data has always been a key pillar of the FCS model and now more than ever is the fuel that drives the distribution machine,” said Mr Poletti-Gadd, “Our plan is to support our clients across their entire fund range and deliver real value from the accuracy, consistency and reusability of the data we support. Anke has a tremendous background and we look forward to the impact she will have for our clients and our business.”

Ms Kneifel, Channel Partner Manager, adds “I am very pleased to be joining the company at such an exciting time. Broadridge FCS already has excellent foundations within the European data and regulatory world. I am sure that with my previous knowledge and experience I can help further strengthen these foundations and help the business to achieve its growth goals in the European fund arena.”
