During his career, Chumbley has held technology leadership positions across front, middle and back office business functions with experience in product development, managed services, integrating new solutions into existing architectures and setting up new trading entities.

Commenting on his appointment, Chumbley says: “Disruptive forces are changing capital markets and posing major challenges for the financial services industry. LPA has been driving the digitalisation of the capital market business for over 20 years, and I look forward to supporting clients in the analysis, planning, development and implementation of digital technologies.”
Kirkham says: “I am excited to join LPA at a time of unprecedented change in financial markets. The scale and reach of the LPA network, alongside the skills of our software and consulting teams in areas spanning advanced technologies, credit risk and change management, present a much sought-after capability to our clients and the wider capital markets industry.”
