TORONTO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nasdaq's Quandl, a leading provider of alternative and core financial data, today announced that Hamza Khan has been appointed as Head of European Data. Khan was formerly the CEO and founder of Suburbia, a technology company that specialized in alternative data solutions.
