Nasdaq Private Market (NPM) has made two appointments to its senior leadership team – Carine Schneider will head NPM's equity management solutions and Cyndi Rodriguez will serve as chief legal officer.
Both will be based in San Francisco.
"We are excited to have Cyndi and Carine join NPM as we develop this market with Cyndi's strong regulatory background and Carine's expertise in equity plan management," says Greg Brogger, president of NPM.
Schneider and Rodriguez will report to Brogger, and Rodriguez will also report to Edward S. Knight, chief regulatory officer and general counsel, Nasdaq OMX.
Schneider will work directly with NPM's corporate clients to enhance the management of their employee equity plans and capitalisation table software solutions, and integrate them into NPM's equity management solution. Schneider was previously the CEO of EASi, a provider of global stock plan tracking and reporting software; co-founder and CEO of Global Shares, an independent provider of global stock plan administration services; and a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers. She has also held senior level management positions with Morgan Stanley, Towers Watson, and Oracle.
Rodriguez joins NPM from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. She will oversee regulatory compliance, interact with companies exploring their capital and security transaction needs, and lead NPM's participation in policy issues affecting the private capital market. While at the SEC, Rodriguez held various senior positions including the deputy chief of staff, counsel to SEC commissioners, and special counsel in the division of trading and markets. She advised and helped implement various policy and rule-makings, including those under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
