FINBOURNE Taps Robert Byrne as CTO

​SaaS Investment Data Management Provider, FINBOURNE Technology, announces the appointment of Robert Byrne in the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) as it continues to forge ahead with its cloud-native, API-first investment data management platform; LUSID. 

With over 20 years' experience in Financial Services Robert brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in data management, having held positions at Barclays Capital, RBS and UBS Delta. Much of Robert's experience, including the evolution of market and trade data transparency, and eliminating operational inefficiencies aligns with FINBOURNE's own mission to lower the cost of investing and increase transparency in the industry.

In his new role, Robert will be managing a skilled and diverse team of developers, to identify viable market opportunities and build requisite functionality using SaaS technology and API-led data tools. As part of the company's expansion, he will be joined by new domain experts across the UK, North America and Asia-Pacific, including Martin Shaw, who was recently appointed in the client engagement team, and brings both product management and sales experience from SimCorp and Charles River Development.

Robert Byrne, Chief Technology Officer, FINBOURNE Technology comments:"It is exciting to return home to the world of Financial Services technology. Having worked with some of the founding members in the past, and with a shared philosophy on the capabilities that a strong data management foundation can deliver, I am genuinely looking forward to contributing to FINBOURNE's mission, and to evolving its interoperable data stack, to fix inherent data struggles and provide a future-proof solution."

Thomas McHugh, CEO and Co-Founder, FINBOURNE Technology added: "We are pleased to welcome Robert Byrne to FINBOURNE. Robert's skills and expertise will help us to build on our distinct and interoperable approach to data management. This, combined with a firm vote of confidence from our clients and investors, puts us in a strong position to build on our success and support buy-side firms to meet their desired outcomes in both in the UK and as we enter new markets. As we do this, we aim to eliminate the operational pain that has burdened the industry for far too long, and instead deliver faster access to the value within investment data."
