King has more than 25 years of experience and joins BMLL from S&P Global, where she was managing director and head of solution sales for APAC, the Middle East and Africa. Earlier in her career, King led APAC equity sales at Markit.
In MENA, BMLL has partnered with the Saudi Tadawul Group’s technology and innovation business to launch WAMID Analytics, offering analytical tools for local and international markets.
The service uses BMLL’s analytics dashboard, which produces metrics from global order book data.
“[This] represents a major step forward in WAMID’s mission to deliver innovative market infrastructure solutions that strengthen the Saudi capital market and enhance its global integration,” stated WAMID CEO Yazeed Al Domaiji.
