Client data and reference data management are topics that are very much in the spotlight at the moment as global regulators move to introduce new legal requirements and more stringent standards (such as Legal Entity Identifier) to bring about greater data governance and improve the overall quality and integrity of client data.

I have had a busy summer as having moved to the New York area with my family. Whilst we had to do a lot of preparation with going to the US embassy etc for visas, the move finally became "real" for me when all of the furniture in our house was removed for shipping to the US, and we ended up effectively camping in our own home for a few w...
