Who are you and what is your role at Euronext Securities?
My name is Vilde Eiesland, and I am Head of Data Sales at Euronext Securities. I lead a dedicated team of data specialists based across Porto, Norway, Italy and Denmark. Since joining in early 2023, my focus has been on expanding our data business and deepening our understanding of how data can deliver value for our clients. Today, our team covers all Euronext Securities’ Central Securities Depository (CSD) markets, working closely with clients to support their evolving needs.
What are the key data trends within the CSD industry and why is this topic strategic for market participants?
The demand for high-quality, timely data is growing rapidly across the financial sector. Market participants are increasingly seeking data to drive automation, optimise processes and support advanced analytics, including artificial intelligence. This trend is not only global but also accelerating within the CSD industry, where accurate post-trade data is essential for operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and strategic decision-making.
Clients are asking for more granular and flexible access to data - from settlement efficiency metrics and corporate actions to reference data and predictive insights. The increase in data usage reflects a broader shift towards digitalisation and smarter, data-driven operations.
What is Euronext Securities’ data value proposition and what products do you offer?
Euronext Securities is uniquely positioned as a natural source of post-trade data, being directly involved in every step of the transaction chain. Our data services are built on three core principles: accuracy, reliability and flexibility.
We offer a wide range of secured data sets sourced directly from the CSD, enabling clients to choose either broad packages or tailored subsets to meet their specific requirements. Whether clients are looking for comprehensive market coverage or targeted data points, our solutions are designed to be both cost-efficient and relevant.
We have reached several key milestones, including expanding our client base and enhancing our product portfolio across all four markets we serve. This progress is fully aligned with Euronext group’s strong ambitions on data, as set out in our strategic plan for 2025-2027. By strengthening our core systems and working closely with Euronext Data Solutions, we are extending our reach beyond our four core markets. Notably, Euronext Data Solutions will soon launch a data catalogue that will bring together the entire data portfolio from Euronext group, making it even easier for clients to discover and access the data they need.
What can clients expect from Euronext Securities’ data services in the future?
As data becomes an ever more critical asset, Euronext Securities focus remains on giving clients direct access to accurate, reliable data - enabling them to trust both the origin and integrity of the information they receive.
Looking to the future, we will continue to develop new data sets and enhance our services in response to client needs and market developments. Our position as a trusted source of post-trade data, combined with our expanding collaboration with Euronext Data Solutions, ensures that we are uniquely placed to support our clients’ data strategies across Europe and beyond.
