Frankfurt, 3 November, 2021 (APA/OTS) - With his background from
executive positions in Itiviti, FIS, and SunGard, Rob Mackay has
successfully built leading international companies in the financial
software sector - Regnology's founding CEO, Jürgen Lux, has decided
to assume a more strategic role and will continue sharing his
knowledge and experience as a senior advisor to the Board of
Directors of Regnology and to its owner Nordic Capital - Regnology,
a leading international provider of innovative regulatory, risk,
and supervisory technology solutions (RegTech, RiskTech, and
SupTech), announced the appointment of Rob Mackay as new CEO of the
company. Regnology's founding CEO, Jürgen Lux, has decided to
assume a more strategic role as a senior advisor to the Board of
Directors of Regnology and to its owner Nordic Capital.
Regnology's Board of Directors selected Rob Mackay for the
position on account of his extensive experience from the financial
services sector as a successful executive with a strong track
record and customer focus.
Rob Mackay was until recently the CEO of Itiviti, a
world-leading financial service company and technology provider for
the capital markets industry. Prior to that, he was responsible as
Chief Operating Officer for the Cross-Asset Trading & Risk business
unit at FIS, the world's largest provider of banking technology.
His previous management experience includes positions as Chief
Operating Officer of Hedge Funds & Risk and Managing Director of
Alternative Investments.
"We are very pleased that Rob joins Regnology as CEO. With his
valuable experience, he will support Regnology to reach the next
level and further strengthen its extraordinary growth journey. Rob
comes with extensive operational and commercial leadership
experience. With his background from executive positions in
Itiviti, FIS, and SunGard, he has successfully built leading
international companies in the financial software sector. He is
highly results driven and admired for his ability to create high
performance cultures. The Board is confident that his deep
understanding of customer needs and his strong track record in
driving international growth makes him the right leader to take
Regnology to the next level as an innovative and reliable partner
to our customers," says Johan Ek, Chairman of the Board, Regnology.
"Regnology is a company with a strong offering and great,
dedicated people. I am looking forward to build upon the impressive
foundation that has been established to date and to working with
Regnology's many talented and passionate colleagues, contributing
to its continued development, and delivering the service, solutions
and innovation that customers require to support their business and
strategic ambitions," said Rob Mackay, incoming CEO of Regnology.
By the acquisition of Vizor in 2021, a solid steppingstone for
further opportunities for Regnology outside the DACH region has
been created. The company is now in a position of strength, with
significant potential to further accelerate its international
growth journey. The goal is also to accelerate the product and
service offerings.
"The Board of Directors of Regnology would like to thank Jürgen
for his outstanding dedication and contributions since inception of
the business more than 25 years ago. Under his leadership Regnology
has established itself as a leading software provider in the
RegTech space, particularly in the DACH region. We are looking
forward to continue working with Jürgen in his capacity as a senior
advisor," comments Johan Ek.
"After almost three decades, now is the right time for me to
step aside and make a change. Regnology is ideally positioned for a
successful future and is fully on course for growth. With Nordic
Capital, we have the right partner at our side. I am pleased to be
able to contribute to the new chapter of the company's success
story as Senior Advisor," says Jürgen Lux.
Until end of 2020, the company was part of BearingPoint group
and operated under the name BearingPoint RegTech. Since the sale of
the RegTech business to private equity firm Nordic Capital, the
company is independent. In June 2021, the company joined forces
with Vizor Software and recently changed the name to Regnology.
