Macrobond, the leading macroeconomic data and analytics platform, announced the appointment of Pedro Rodrigues as Chief Platform and AI Officer. The appointment marks a defining moment in Macrobond’s evolution from a trusted data provider into a fully AI-native intelligence platform for the global macro research community.
Pedro joins at a pivotal inflection point. Across financial services, AI experimentation is near-universal. Production deployment is not. Not because the technology is incapable, but because something fundamental is missing from the architecture: the reasoning layer that sits above the data, allowing AI to operate on economic information with the logic, semantics, and domain understanding that macroeconomic analysis actually requires. Macrobond’s ambition is to build that layer, and to build it on a foundation no competitor can replicate.
Leading the Next Era of Macro Intelligence
The next phase of macro research will not be defined by who has access to the most data. It will be defined by who can make that data intelligent, traceable, and ready to act on. Pedro Rodrigues has spent over 15 years building exactly that capability for global financial institutions, turning the most complex economic data environments into production-ready AI systems that researchers and decision makers can actually trust.
At Macrobond, he inherits a foundation that no competitor can replicate quickly: more than 300 million normalized time series from 2,500 global sources, curated and governed over 20 years, with full data lineage and traceable transformations built in from the start. That infrastructure is what allows Macrobond’s AI to be purpose-built rather than retrofitted. Where most AI tools in financial services are layered on top of fragmented data, Macrobond’s intelligence layer grows from the data up. Pedro’s mandate is to push that advantage further and faster, scaling it into the workflows, systems, and decision environments where the next generation of macro research will happen.

Every Macro Decision, Powered by Trusted Intelligence
Macrobond is building toward a singular goal: every macro decision powered by trusted data, AI that thinks like an expert, and insights that can be fully understood and defended.
That vision rests on a platform designed for three distinct audiences who share a common need for a trusted foundation:
Insight Producers, including economists, analysts, and strategists who build and publish research, need to move from data discovery to defensible published view without manual reconciliation, unstable pipelines, or trust gaps in the AI layer.
Decision Makers, including CIOs, portfolio managers, and chief economists, need research delivered in the flow of their work, with the ability to interrogate sources, trace reasoning, and act with confidence.
Builders, including developers, quants, and platform teams, need licensed, governed macro data that plugs directly into their infrastructure, models, and agentic workflows without requiring a rebuild.
The appointment of Pedro accelerates Macrobond’s ability to serve all three, at scale, across the enterprise, and in real time.
