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.
