KNEIP, the service provider to the global asset management industry, has appointed Philippe Maupas as general manager of its subsidiary La Cote Bleue, which specializes in financial information. His appointment takes effect February 1.
Maupas has been appointed to drive growth in France for the subsidiary and to develop the business on an international level. He worked in the economic and financial press for more than 12 years before becoming CEO of Morningstar France from 2001-05. He co-founded Quantalys in 2005, which he directed until the end of 2011.
La Cote Bleue will also move from Palais Brongniart to a new office in another part of Paris, Place Vendme.
Philippe brings over 23 years of leadership, in-depth understanding of French and European financial media and asset management experience, which will greatly benefit KNEIP and La Cote Bleue, says Lee Godfrey, deputy CEO of KNEIP. His extensive expertise in fund administration, listings and distribution as well as communications management will significantly help the firm reaffirm its position as leader in technology and multimedia solutions for the finance industry.
Maupas adds: KNEIP and La Cote Bleue have been set up to provide innovative solutions to the finance industry and it gives me great pleasure to join the team. I am looking forward to working with them to grow the business on both a European and International level.
