Max Grigoryev

Director of Product, LSEG Financial Analytics & AI

I turn complex data systems into developer-friendly products.

I build API-first, analytics-heavy platforms that make large, high-trust datasets usable for engineers, quants, and decision teams - from financial analytics and data clouds to AI-native workflows and SDKs.

About

What I run.

I build and run data-intensive, API-first platforms that make large, high-trust datasets usable for engineers, quants, partners, and AI workflows.

Financial Analytics Platform

Pricing platforms for fixed income and structured products with SOC/audit-ready controls.

3B+ instruments priced monthly

Analytics Data Cloud

Unified 80+ proprietary and partner datasets powering analytics, semantic search, and telemetry across terminals, APIs, and AI workflows.

60M+ monthly requests

Developer Ecosystem

Python/TypeScript SDKs and VS Code, Jupyter, and Excel extensions that cut time-to-first-analysis and make analytics usable where engineers work.

Minutes to onboard, not weeks

Selected Outcomes

Proof points from recent work.

Pricing engines + developer workflows

Financial Analytics Platform, LSEG

Led end-to-end roadmap for the analytics platform powering LSEG x Microsoft partnership, ensuring reconciled models, entitlement-aware APIs, and IDE-native experiences.

Unified data environment

Analytics Data Cloud

Combined 80+ internal + partner datasets with semantic search and on-the-fly analytics so terminals, APIs, and copilots share a consistent telemetry layer.

60M+ monthly data calls
AI-native developer experience

Model Context Protocol pilots

Designed MCP proofs connecting secure analytics, provenance metadata, and assistant interfaces so PMs and quants can generate runnable code without breaking controls.

Programmatic trading stack

Brokerage API & OMS, WhoTrades

Built API gateway, onboarding, and B2B investment platform enabling fintech partners to launch brokerage experiences with ready-made compliance and order management.

Domains of Expertise

Where I spend the most time.

Developer Platforms

API-first strategy, SDK lifecycles, docs, and IDE extensions designed for quant, engineering, and partner teams.

  • API governance
  • SDK adoption playbooks
  • DX research

Financial Analytics

Pricing engines, data contracts, and entitlement models that keep fixed income and structured products accurate and explainable.

  • Model lifecycle
  • Data quality & controls
  • Capital-markets workflows

AI-Native Workflows

Model Context Protocol design, tool-calling, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses for trustworthy copilots.

  • Vectorization
  • Eval frameworks
  • Telemetry & guardrails

How I Work

A few of the principles people feel when working with me.

Documentation-first alignment

Narratives, interface contracts, and runbooks keep exec, engineering, and GTM teams tracking the same commitments.

Controls x velocity

Design secure defaults - entitlements, logging, evals - so regulated teams can ship fast without creating cleanup debt.

Telemetry everywhere

Instrument adoption, reliability, and satisfaction so every roadmap debate references data instead of anecdotes.

Professional Journey

Representative stages across product, GTM, and data leadership.
