Akhil Sanjiva

Associate Director, Product, S&P Global · Visible Alpha

Product manager with 10+ years in financial services, focused on buyside workflows, consensus estimates and financial data infrastructure. I lead product for Investment Managers and Bankers across the Visible Alpha and Capital IQ Pro platforms, with a current focus on building AI-native workflows for institutional investors, bringing Visible Alpha's consensus and KPI-level data deeper into the platforms clients already use. On the AI side, I'm experimenting with Claude to build financial data skills, and use Figma Make to rapidly prototype and commercially validate new product ideas.
