FOW adds senior hire to drive product strategy

We are delighted to welcome David Calver to FOW as the new Chief Product Officer. In this role, David will oversee the strategy and development of FOW’s data, insights and event product offerings.

David joins Derivia from S&P Global (formerly IHS Markit) where he headed up the Economic Data business. Before that he was the Data Services Product Manager at Fathom Consulting, a world-leading consultancy specialising in the global economy, geopolitics and financial markets.

David’s extensive career also encompasses working with the Economist Intelligence Unit where, as Director of Economic Forecasting, he was responsible for economic data products and the forecasting framework used by a large team of economists. He has also worked as an Economist at the Bank of England and as a Fixed Income analyst for Merrill Lynch.

David will assume immediate responsibility for the design and development of the new FOW platform, set to launch in autumn 2024.

We believe that both of our core brands should benefit from dedicated focus, energy, attention and leadership to meet growth ambitions and trajectories. We look forward to benefiting from David’s extensive knowledge and experience in shaping and driving FOW’s future direction and ensuring that its long-standing industry reputation is maintained and enhanced.”
