General Index has announced Diane Charnock as Chief Product Officer after 3 years within the company in strategy and corporate development roles, based in the firm’s London headquarters.
Diane brings 15 years of experience in the information services and energy space, having previously worked in consulting at Wood Mackenzie, Argus Media and Fastmarkets.
Originally joining GX in 2022 as Chief of Staff to the CEO, Diane was promoted to VP Corporate Development where she managed key partner relationships.
During her time managing the Bloomberg relationship, she led the strategic agreements to distribute both key oil prices as part of {BOIL<GO>} and voluntary carbon indexes.
Diane reflected on her appointment: “Reflecting on the last 3 years since I joined GX, it's incredible to see how far we've come. From launching new benchmarks and expanding our coverage (now over 4000 indexes and counting), to partnering with industry leaders such as Bloomberg on revamping their BOIL service, seeing ICE launch multiple GX-based contracts including most recently in US Crude, and this year launching our brand-new platform GX Go. It's been a whirlwind - and we've only just begun! Thousands of commodity and finance professionals rely on GX data for analysis, risk management, and trading. I'm excited to improve GX’s products through our platform and partnerships, providing great value to our users.”
