CounterpartyLink, a provider of counterparty and legal entity data, has appointed former Deutsche Börse executive Christoph Lammersdorf as managing director.
Lammersdorf was previously managing director of Deutsche Börse's information services division.
Prior to joining the German exchange, Lammersdorf was vice president of contributor and supplier relationship management at Dow Jones/Telerate.
CounterpartyLink has been established to help firms comply with regulatory compliance requirements around entity data, including those related to Basel II, Know Your Customer, the Patriot Act and Sarbanes-Oxley.
Last week, the company announced its product launch at a New York conference.
