Timothy Lind has been appointed managing director of DTCC data services.

The former global head of financial regulatory solutions at Thomson Reuters has departed to head up data services at the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC).

Timothy Lind has been appointed managing director of the DTCC’s data business and has been tasked with overseeing the large volumes of data derived from the firm’s global processing platforms.
