CenterSquare Investment Management has appointed Doug Carpenter as director, head of data strategy and AI.
In this newly created role, Carpenter will lead CenterSquare’s firmwide approach to data management and AI integration, building on the data infrastructure the firm has developed over the last three decades.
Carpenter joins the firm from InvestCloud, where he most recently served as vice president of data, and prior to that he spent nearly 15 years at SEI, where he held senior roles across data, analytics, and investment technology.
E Todd Briddell, CEO of CenterSquare, said: “We’re excited to welcome Doug and continue advancing how we leverage data and Artificial Intelligence across our firm. Doug brings a rare combination of deep financial services expertise and proven experience deploying enterprise-level data and AI platforms in highly regulated environments. His appointment will allow us to scale our AI capabilities and ensure our teams can act on information with even greater speed and confidence.”
Carpenter added: “CenterSquare has built a strong data foundation over many years, and that creates a meaningful opportunity. My focus is on making that data more accessible and actionable across the firm – ensuring that the people who need it most can use it effectively. That means being intentional about where AI genuinely adds value, deploying it responsibly, and matching the right tools to the right problems. The goal isn’t AI for its own sake. It’s better research, faster decisions, and less friction between data and the teams who depend on it.”
