Automotive data and technology firm S&P Global Mobility has hired Matt Weiss for the newly created role of executive director of product strategy and pricing solutions.

In a news release, the company said Weiss will be responsible for “the strategic expansion of S&P Global Mobility’s North American market reporting and analytical products, specifically enabling new customer solutions in the areas of strategic pricing and incentives management to meet the evolving demands of the automotive market.”

Weiss joins the firm from JATO Dynamics, where he most recently was global head of insurance and president of its North American operation. He was a member of the worldwide leadership team accountable for all aspects of the North American business unit and global insurance vertical.

“Matt’s experience will help to enable product growth across our portfolio,” S&P Global Mobility president Joe LaFeir said. “This area of our business is a strategic investment for us and will enable us to provide customers with a broader set of solutions to help drive their business.”

Weiss said he is “honored” to join S&P Global Mobility.

“We have a point in time opportunity to guide our clients’ vehicle pricing decisions through a period of significant change in automotive consumer buying habits,” he said. “Our ambition is to bring to market new and authoritative, data-driven pricing solutions while enhancing our already powerful suite of offerings.”
