CRU Group
Design Lead · May 2024 – May 2025
Led design of CRU’s asset-risk and cost intelligence platform, including AI summarisation for analysts, and one design system across the business.
→ The system
CRU Group is an independent business intelligence firm focused on the global metals, mining, and fertiliser industries. Selling four things: price and supply/demand data, market insight and analyst access, strategy consulting (including energy transition work), and industry events and publications (Communities). Coverage spans base metals like copper and aluminium, steel, battery materials like lithium and nickel, and fertilisers like potash and phosphates, with clients running from mining companies and manufacturers to financial services firms and governments.
→ What I owned
Led design and implementation of CRU’s Asset Risk and Supply Concentration tool, a five-pillar risk score used to price country- and company-level exposure, whilst looking after Cost Analysis and Asset Platform, cross-sell, and AI summarisation, working with analysts, quants, and engineers.
Consolidated a universal design system across the platform as Design Lead and rolled it out to all branches of the business.
→ The outcome
A sophisticated platform and set of products CRU could put in front of its institutional clients, contributing directly to the business’s goals and vision.
