She previously spent sixteen years at Moody’s Analytics, where she oversaw global sales and was closely involved in integrating acquisitions such as Bureau van Dijk and RMS.
Her appointment follows the recent naming of incoming CEO Charlotte Hogg and reflects Alter Domus’s continued investment in its senior leadership team. “Isabel’s expertise in go-to-market strategy and leading high-performing teams will be vital as we scale,” stated Hogg.
Gomez Vidal also serves on the advisory boards of the Posse Foundation and Quantum Metrics, and is a member of the American Society of AI in New York.
