Code Willing Appoints Jacob Beeman To Board Of Directors

Code Willing has appointed Jacob Beeman to its board of directors, adding more than two decades of experience in capital markets, operations, technology, strategy, and investments. His appointment comes at a time of rapid expansion for the company, which continues to strengthen its position in the global financial technology space.

Beeman’s experience includes work at Quantbot Ventures, where he serves as Chief Executive Officer, and previous leadership roles focused on financial technology, banking, and trading infrastructure. His knowledge of venture capital and emerging technologies brings additional support to Code Willing’s strategic initiatives.

Jacob Beeman to enhance operational structure and open doors

Baron Davis, Chief Executive Officer at Code Willing, said: “Jake has a proven track record of growing and building companies. His mission at Code Willing is to enhance the company’s operational structure, leverage his extensive industry relationships, and open doors for new opportunities. His expertise aligns with Code Willing’s ambitious goals for its CWIQ Platform—a comprehensive, end-to-end trading, research, and data solution designed to accelerate data workflows for hedge funds and asset managers.

“Code Willing has invested years into refining its technology, ensuring that clients have access to an advanced and integrated solution. With Jake’s appointment to the board, we are taking another step toward expanding our market presence and reinforcing our position as a leader in the industry.”

Beeman said: “The CWIQ Platform has a huge opportunity in the market. Most firms don’t want to contract with multiple providers and then integrate disparate solutions. The CWIQ Platform eliminates this need by offering a richer feature set and seamless integration that disrupts the traditional market approach. I’ve seen the challenges firms face with siloed capabilities, and I’m excited to help Code Willing capitalize on this opportunity.”

Code Willing continues to expand its global presence, with a focus on increasing operations in Europe and Asia. The company has already announced plans to open a London office, supporting its broader growth initiatives. In addition, expansion into Asia remains a priority, with a Hong Kong office expected to open in the second quarter of the year.

The CWIQ platform centralizes data from multiple sources into a single security master, significantly reducing the time required for data evaluation. By integrating EDI’s reference data, corporate actions, and pricing datasets, the platform provides users with faster and more efficient tools for quantitative research and model development.

Code Willing recently partnered with Exchange Data International (EDI) to offer hedge funds and asset managers a streamlined solution for data analytics and research workflows.

The partnership aims to address common challenges faced by asset managers, such as data alignment and integration. The CWIQ platform is designed to eliminate these bottlenecks, allowing users to optimize trading strategies and reduce operational complexity. This enables quicker deployment of trading models and strategies, enhancing efficiency across the board.
