Smith joined Data Explorers in March 2008 from Thomson Reuters where he was the CEO of Thomson Financial's businesses in Europe and Asia.
His departure signals the end of a transition period that began with financial information services company Markit's acquisition of Data Explorers in April.
Hunt, who was a managing director at Markit, now leads the Data Explorers business. He joined Markit last year from Goldman Sachs where he built and ran the firm's equity electronic trading business in Europe.
