Episode 1 of 5: Accelerating Value Creation in Private Markets: The Power of Strategic Data and Ecosystem Partnerships - The Ecosystem Effect

Published on 
September 17, 2026

We're excited to share the second installment of our special edition mini-series podcast captured at the exclusive event: The Ecosystem Effect, which was co-hosted by Motive Partners and S&P Global, in Berlin to kick off SuperReturn 2026.

Our first episode explores how strategic data and ecosystem partnerships are redefining value creation across private markets. As public and private markets continue to converge, firms that connect technology, intelligence, and expertise are creating competitive advantages that extend well beyond their own organizations.

Leading the conversation is Rob Heyvaert, Founder and Managing Partner of Motive Partners. A lifelong entrepreneur and global fintech leader, Rob has built and scaled multiple notable businesses and founded Motive Partners with a vision of bringing together Investors, Operators, and Innovators to accelerate transformation across financial services. Under his leadership, Motive has become an established specialist investment firm focused exclusively on financial technology.

Joining Rob in a dynamic discussion is Sally Moore, Chief Client Officer and Co-Head of Market Intelligence, Kensho Data & Platforms at S&P Global. Sally leads the firm's enterprise commercial strategy, strategic partnerships, and client engagement globally, as well as the market intelligence business, bringing more than two decades of leadership experience helping financial institutions leverage data, technology, and trusted partnerships to drive growth and innovation.
