Equilar Atlas connects top executives to valuable networking
opportunities
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 12, 2012--
NYSE Euronext (NYX) today announced a strategic partnership with
Equilar, the leader in executive compensation and C-Suite mapping
technology, to provide NYSE and NYSE MKT issuers access to Equilar
Atlas, a comprehensive solution to help identify executive and board
member candidates for potential hire and to maximize business networking
opportunities. Equilar Atlas is currently available through the NYSE
Connect portal, a comprehensive and powerful dashboard of market
intelligence and analytics tools, available to NYSE-listed companies.
“Unlocking the power of the NYSE Euronext community by connecting
customers to innovative products and superior services continues to be
our prime objective,” said Jean-Marc Levy, SVP, Head of Global Issuer
Services. “Our strategic partnership with Equilar and the introduction
of the Atlas service to our issuers is a perfect illustration of our
commitment to this community strategy.”
By connecting an individual’s personal network of C-Suite contacts to
Atlas’s proprietary network of 300,000 executives and board members,
NYSE Euronext corporate issuers can now gain exposure to new business
and recruiting opportunities by identifying potential introductions. For
executive and board recruiting, users can short-list candidates using
sophisticated criteria including, but not limited to former board and
executive positions, committee and total board experience, geography and
industry.
Equilar Atlas executive profiles have extensive information on each
individual including information on current and past work experience,
non-profit affiliations, alma mater, board committee experience,
publicly disclosed compensation and equity holdings, as well as
information on other executives the individual has worked with in the
past. The Equilar Atlas Connection Engine enables users to see how their
own personal network connects them to executives and board members so
they can engage through a mutual acquaintance.
“As they say, it’s often not what you know but who you know,” said David
Chun, CEO and Founder of Equilar. “We’re excited to partner with NYSE
Euronext by connecting their members with other business leaders at the
pinnacle of Corporate America to accelerate business development and
recruiting opportunities via Equilar Atlas.”
