SteelEye, the compliance technology and data analytics firm, has appointed Brian Lynch as president of its new US office.
Based in New York, Lynch will be responsible for SteelEye’s US footprint, leading the firm’s commercial expansion in the North American market.
Lynch has extensive experience in innovating, building, and implementing technology solutions in the financial services industry in a career spanning more than 25 years.
In 2011, Lynch joined Risk Focus from UBS. As CEO of Risk Focus, Lynch drove the development of a regulatory focused software solution that he then utilised to co-found RegTek Solutions, where he was also CEO from 2017 to 2019.
Bloomberg acquired RegTek Solutions in 2019, which led Lynch to spend two years integrating his product into Bloomberg's regulatory platform before leaving to join SteelEye.
Commenting on the appointment, Smith says: “Brian’s experience in the industry is second to none, making him the perfect choice to lead SteelEye’s US business. Our North American clients will benefit hugely from his extensive regulatory background. Brian’s knowledge and understanding of the regulatory challenges financial firms in North America face will be invaluable.”
Lynch comments: “I am thrilled to join SteelEye at such an exciting stage for the business. The abundance of regulations and regulatory change in the European markets has encouraged innovation in the region. While competition is strong in the UK and Europe, the North American markets are not as well served.
He adds: “The US financial services market is broad and offers a tremendous opportunity for solutions that have proven themselves in a rigorous regulatory environment and I am excited to bring SteelEye to the US client base.”
