AlphaSense names Julia Lecocq & June Boo in expansion
AlphaSense has appointed Julia Lecocq and June Boo to senior roles overseeing operations in EMEA and APAC as it expands internationally to meet rising demand for AI-based market intelligence.
Lecocq joins as Senior Vice President of International Corporate Sales and UK Country Manager, leading the company's UK and wider EMEA strategy. Boo has been named Vice President of Corporate Sales and Singapore Country Manager, overseeing the Singapore hub and corporate sales across APAC.
The appointments are part of a broader international push by the New York-headquartered group, which is also expanding its multilingual tools and adding more regional content to its platform. AlphaSense says its service now covers more than 500 million business documents in more than 37 languages.
The expansion includes the translation and analysis of non-English documents via its Generative Search tool, aimed at addressing information gaps in markets with limited English-language coverage.
AlphaSense also plans to more than double its Tegus Expert Transcript Library across APAC and EMEA, adding more local macroeconomic, regulatory and company information alongside expert interviews and channel checks.
The company highlighted growth in sectors including financial services, life sciences, technology, energy and industrials. Customers include Baillie Gifford, BHP Group, DBS Bank, Deutsche Bank, Dyson, Samsung, ServiceNow, Singtel and Volkswagen.
Since opening its Singapore hub in 2023, AlphaSense says APAC customer growth has exceeded 50% year on year. The regional operation is supported by more than 120 staff across sales and marketing.
The business passed USD $500 million in annual recurring revenue last year, a milestone it linked to demand for AI tools that provide compliant, traceable information for investment, strategy and market analysis.
Regional Push
Lecocq brings experience from GLG and Percolate, where she held leadership roles in sales and go-to-market operations. Boo previously served as Head of Asia Business, LinkedIn for Sales.
The moves indicate AlphaSense is putting more senior management in place in markets where it sees further growth potential, rather than relying solely on US-based leadership. The company already has staff in India, Singapore, London and Finland.
Its focus on audit-ready, traceable intelligence reflects a broader shift among financial institutions and large companies facing tighter scrutiny over how they source information for decisions. Demand has grown for systems that can search large volumes of documents while clearly showing the source of that information.
Multilingual search has become a key part of that effort, particularly for investors and corporate strategy teams assessing companies and sectors across borders. Analysts have long faced challenges working with filings, research and local-language material outside standard English-language datasets.
By adding search, translation and analysis of multilingual documents, AlphaSense aims to make more of that material accessible within a single platform. This includes coverage of more than 10 million private companies across EMEA and Japan.
Kiva Kolstein, President and Chief Revenue Officer at AlphaSense, said, "AlphaSense is at a critical stage in our journey to our next phase of growth. For years we've had team members on the ground in India, Singapore, London, Finland, and elsewhere across both regions to provide customers with essential support and partnership. Today, AI is no longer a nice-to-have - it's a fundamental requirement. In high-stakes environments like investing, corporate strategy, and market intelligence, the winners do not have more information. They are the teams that can turn trusted intelligence into conviction faster than everyone else. With our investments in people, operations, and content, we have never been in a better position than we are today to scale AlphaSense globally and help inform market-moving decisions."
