Lombard Risk has hired Thomas Chevalier to the newly created position of business development manager for France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Chevalier will be responsible for building on the client base for Lombard Risk’s Colline collateral management software and the AgileReporter regulatory compliance systems.
He joins from S&P Capital IQ where he was sales manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and where he is credited with playing a key role in launching the company’s portfolio risk business in Europe.
Previously, he has also worked at Algorithmics and Murex.
Alastair Brown, CEO of Lombard Risk, said: “Highly complex regulatory requirements which mean financial services firms must demonstrate clear compliance trails, as well as the numerous challenges associated with collateral management across multiple jurisdictions, are driving strong growth across our European business.”
“As such, we are delighted that Thomas Chevalier has joined us at this time of rapid development for the business. He has an excellent track record in business development and has worked extensively in the financial technology sector.”
Chevalier added: “Lombard Risk is driving innovation within the financial reporting market and we are already seeing strong interest from banks, asset managers and other financial services providers in Southern Europe, France and Belgium and Luxembourg.”
“The complexity and scale of financial regulation shows no sign of abating and as businesses increase their international footprint, managing and monitoring risk across all areas is a vital but huge task.”
This new appointment follows the hires of David Howard into the newly created role of senior regulatory consultant in the Americas, and Tracy Adams as regional head for the Colline solution in Asia Pacific. Both appointments were announced in August.
