Rimes Appoints Vijay Mayadas as Chairman and CEO

On September 18, 2025, Rimes announced the appointment of Vijay Mayadas as its new Chairman and CEO. This strategic move aims to accelerate Rimes' transformation into a comprehensive data fabric for the investment sector.

Mayadas comes to Rimes with over 25 years of extensive experience at the crossroads of technology and financial services. Previously, he served as President of Capital Markets at Broadridge Financial Solutions, where he played a pivotal role in expanding the company's revenues from $600 million to over $1 billion. During his tenure, Broadridge's market capitalization skyrocketed from under $3 billion to nearly $30 billion.
His leadership led to pioneering innovations in the financial industry, including AI-powered trading platforms and distributed ledger solutions, which now facilitate trillions of dollars in monthly transactions.

Donal Smith, Chairman of the Rimes Board, expressed confidence in Mayadas' capabilities, stating, "Vijay is a world-class leader with a proven ability to scale international FinTech franchises and drive innovative product development. His expertise in leveraging next-generation technologies, particularly AI, uniquely positions him to expedite Rimes' strategy and guide the company toward its next chapter of market leadership and growth."

Upon his appointment, Mayadas remarked, "Rimes has built a remarkably successful company over the past 30 years, truly establishing a gold standard in reference and index data. I am incredibly excited about the opportunities ahead of us. In a world increasingly driven by AI, the demand for reliable, independent, and well-curated data—as a comprehensive information fabric—has never been more crucial. No company is better positioned than Rimes to address this gap."

Rimes, backed by Five Arrows, a Rothschild & Co. branch specializing in alternative assets, has further solidified its leadership position within the global investment ecosystem. The company maintains robust partnerships with leading clients and boasts an unparalleled network of over 800 data partners. This powerful ecosystem fuels Rimes' innovation, providing mission-critical solutions throughout the investment lifecycle—from its gold standard reference and ESG data to sophisticated asset allocation and rebalancing platforms tailored for the world's most complex asset owners.

Under Mayadas' leadership, Rimes intends to accelerate its investments in this ecosystem—enhancing its people, technology, and partnerships—ensuring every client can translate data into a competitive advantage.
