Amit Lalwani joins 9fin from Intapp as chief revenue officer. The debt platform, valued at $1.3B, is expanding globally with AI tools for credit analysis.
9fin, the debt capital markets data platform, named Amit Lalwani as its first chief revenue officer, the company announced on Monday. Lalwani will report directly to chief executive officer Steven Hunter and oversee global sales, account management, client success and revenue operations.
The appointment comes after 9fin closed a $170 million Series C funding round, which valued the company at $1.3 billion. The platform now counts more than 350 institutional clients, including investment banks, asset managers, law firms and advisory groups. The company said it has sustained multiple consecutive years of 100% annual recurring revenue growth, with the U.S. division outpacing other regions and expansion underway in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
Lalwani spent the past eight years at Intapp, a specialized software provider, where he served as vice president of financial services. Before that, he held executive roles at Dealogic over a 15-year stretch, covering enterprise software sales, product development and global account management. During his tenure at Intapp and DealCloud, the financial services division grew client acquisition 22 times and ARR 25 times, according to the company.
“Amit brings a rare combination of understanding our market and customers, and having scaled commercial organisations to hundreds of millions in ARR,” Hunter said. “Our vision is to be the number one AI platform in the debt markets, and Amit is here to build the commercial machine to get us there.”
9fin was founded by Hunter, a former J.P. Morgan banker, and Hussam El-Sheikh, a former Deutsche Bank engineer. The platform combines proprietary fixed-income data, predictive analytics and automated workflows in one interface. Recently, it deployed AI Chat and the Research Grid, tools that let credit analysts parse complex debt covenants, compare historical yields and generate automated research briefs.
Lalwani said in a statement: “9fin possesses the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, elite talent, and proprietary data to spearhead the AI-driven transformation of global debt markets. It is incredibly rare to find a platform so deeply embedded across the entire credit ecosystem… The commercial runway ahead of us is enormous, and I am thrilled to lead the charge as we accelerate into our next hyper-growth chapter.”
9fin operates from London, New York, Hong Kong and Belfast.
