Helena Roughton joins Propellant as Product Manager, Regulatory Focus

London, 20 May 2026 - Propellant Digital (Propellant), an award-winning technology provider specialising in fixed income data analytics, today announced that Helena Roughton has joined the company as Product Manager, Regulatory Focus, bringing together deep policy expertise and technical product knowledge to support Propellant’s next stage of growth.

She also recently completed a full-stack software development programme, bringing practical technical expertise alongside her regulatory background.

Helena noted:

“The pace of regulatory change across financial markets continues to create new challenges for firms, and I’m excited to join Propellant at this pivotal time - both for the company and for market structure regulation. I look forward to contributing to Propellant’s mission by helping build solutions that enable clients to navigate regulatory complexity more effectively and seeing the direct impact those solutions can have for clients.”

Vidal Mehra, Chief Product Officer at Propellant, commented:

“As we continue to grow our product suite, with enhancements across both coverage and analytics, Helena’s expertise in MiFID regulation and product development will be an invaluable addition to the team. We are excited to continue our growth journey as we expand our existing client base and move into new territories beyond Europe.”
