John Wisbey is the CEO of Lombard Risk, which
he has led since its launch in 1989 with the introduction
of Oberon, one of the industry's original software systems
for financial instrument valuation and risk management.
John has guided the company's organic growth through the
creation and development of several successful products,
initially Oberon, followed by ValuSpread a credit derivative
data service (sold to Fitch in 2005), Colline for collateral
management and most recently LISA for liquidity risk management.
In addition, John has been the principal architect of
the company's inorganic growth, which includes the acquisitions
of Open Image Systems in 1994 (later floated on AIM as
IDOX plc in 2000) and STB Systems (now the core of Lombard
Risk's regulatory compliance business) in 2005. Today,
under John's leadership, Lombard Risk is an international
leader in collateralised trading, liquidity management
and regulatory compliance offering a wide range of products
and services to multi-national clients.
Prior to establishing Lombard Risk, John was Head of Option
Trading and a Director in the Swap Group at Kleinwort
Benson Limited. John acquired a broad foundation in the
world's financial markets and developed specialisations
in derivatives and banking technology during his twelve
years in the Treasury Division and Banking Division at
Kleinwort Benson while based in London, Hong Kong and
Singapore. John was also past Chairman until 2005 of IDOX
plc, a former subsidiary of Lombard Risk and now a leading
company in UK e-government.
