AlphaSense expands in EMEA & APAC with senior hires
Thu, 9th Apr 2026
AlphaSense is expanding across EMEA and APAC, including senior hires in the UK and Singapore.
The market intelligence software group is responding to rising demand from financial and corporate customers for AI tools that can search and analyse large volumes of business information while providing clear source trails. It has also added multilingual search and translation features and is increasing regional content coverage.
AlphaSense has appointed Julia Lecocq as Senior Vice President of International Corporate Sales and UK Country Manager. She previously held leadership roles at GLG and Percolate and will lead the company's UK and broader EMEA strategy.
June Boo has joined as Vice President of Corporate Sales and Singapore Country Manager. Previously Head of Asia Business, LinkedIn for Sales, she will oversee AlphaSense's Singapore hub and corporate sales efforts in the region.
The appointments are part of a broader international push as AlphaSense reports rapid growth across APAC and EMEA over the past year. Since opening its Singapore hub, APAC customer growth has exceeded 50 per cent year on year, supported by a team of more than 120 sales and marketing staff.
Demand has been strongest in sectors including financial services, energy and technology. Clients across the two regions include DBS Bank, Deutsche Bank, Dyson, Samsung, ServiceNow, Singtel and Volkswagen.
Language Tools
A central part of the expansion is a broader push into multilingual analysis. Users can now use AlphaSense's generative search tools to translate and analyse non-English documents alongside its existing multilingual sources and company coverage.
The move is intended to address gaps in markets where English-language coverage is limited. The platform now covers more than 500 million business documents in more than 37 languages, including Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish.
AlphaSense is also expanding its proprietary content in Europe and Asia. It plans to more than double its Tegus Expert Transcript Library across APAC and EMEA by adding regional interviews and channel checks to deepen local market coverage.
The company has been growing quickly as businesses and investors seek AI systems tailored to specialist research and analysis rather than general-purpose chat tools. In sectors such as banking, corporate strategy and market research, buyers have placed greater emphasis on systems that can direct users back to original documents and support compliance checks.
That trend has helped lift revenue. AlphaSense said it surpassed USD $500 million in annual recurring revenue last year, a milestone that places it among the larger privately held software groups focused on research and market intelligence.
Its product combines company filings, broker research, news, expert interviews and other business data in a single search platform. AlphaSense has positioned that model as a way for analysts, investors and executives to reduce the time needed to find and assess relevant information.
Kiva Kolstein, President and Chief Revenue Officer, said the latest investments reflect the company's stage of development and growing international base.
"AlphaSense is at a critical stage in our journey to our next phase of growth," Kolstein said.
He said the company has maintained teams across India, Singapore, London and Finland for several years.
"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," Kolstein said.
