Crampton joins from Macquarie Adviser Services, where he was a strategic business manager for Macquarie Wrap.
He will report to Morningstar Australasia chief executive Anthony Serhan.
"Morningstar's capabilities in Australia and New Zealand have grown significantly in recent years and this is an important new hire for us," Serhan said.
"Nigel has extensive experience and understanding of clients in the adviser and institutional markets, and will complement our team greatly."
Crampton will be responsible for Morningstar's sales and client relationship management activities for its products in Australia and New Zealand, including investment data, research and software solutions for financial advisers and institutions.
At Macquarie, where Crampton worked for 14 years, he was responsible for the distribution of Macquarie Wrap in New South Wales, including client management, product development, investment committee membership and the overall strategic business direction of the platform.
