Question · Q3 2025
Jeff Schmidt inquired about the AxiomSL to Calypso cross-selling opportunities, asking if Nasdaq is approaching this differently than Thoma Bravo and if these opportunities are picking up under Nasdaq's leadership.
Answer
Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO, explained that Thoma Bravo had already created a data connector between AxiomSL and Calypso to ease implementation. Nasdaq continues to build these connectors and leverages holistic conversations with high-level clients (e.g., COO, Chief Risk Officer) to address broader needs across risk management, trading, regulatory compliance, and financial crime. Friedman noted that Nasdaq's ability to engage clients holistically, often prompting questions like 'what are other banks taking that I'm not?', significantly enhances cross-selling opportunities across the bank's operations, including wealth management.
