California-based ETF.com, which covers news about exchange traded funds, has named Dave Nadig as its CEO, reports Cinthia Murphy of ETF.com.
Murphy writes, “Nadig had led ETF.com’s data and analytics efforts, building the data platform, contributing commentary, and playing a leadership role in the company from 2008 to 2015.
