“We’re excited to welcome Doug and continue advancing how we leverage data and Artificial Intelligence across our firm,” said CenterSquare CEO E. Todd Briddell. “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.”

Mr. Carpenter joins from InvestCloud, where he most recently served as Vice President of Data, leading enterprise data strategy and AI enablement across multiple product lines. Prior to InvestCloud, Mr. Carpenter spent nearly 15 years at SEI, where he held senior roles across data, analytics, and investment technology.

“CenterSquare has built a strong data foundation over many years, and that creates a meaningful opportunity,” said Mr. Carpenter. “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.”

Mr. Carpenter holds a Certificate in Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy from MIT Sloan Executive Education, a Business Analytics Specialization Certificate from Wharton Online, and a degree in Management and Business Economics from Gettysburg College.
