Ubisecure has named veteran fintech executive Tom Edwards as its new Executive Chair, a move designed to sharpen the company’s focus on RegTech, digital identity and global compliance services. The appointment takes effect immediately, positioning Edwards to steer Ubisecure’s strategic growth and deepen ties with banks, institutions and technology partners worldwide .
Drawing on his experience scaling CubeLogic where he doubled both revenue and the customer base as CEO, Edwards will work alongside Ubisecure’s leadership to streamline operations and accelerate go to market initiatives. His remit spans corporate strategy, operational excellence and enterprise sales execution, all within industries bound by strict regulatory demands.
“I’m excited to join Ubisecure at a pivotal moment of growth,” Edwards said. “Managing the opportunities presented in the RegTech market by Digital Identity, both Individual and Organisational, is essential in today’s landscape of expanding regulation, national identity initiatives, and ever rising fraud, especially in cross border transactions. The company is uniquely positioned to address some of the most pressing market challenges by enabling digital identity, to ensure regulatory compliance and foster digital trust.”
Ubisecure is already the world’s largest issuer of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) via its RapidLEI service and a leading European provider of digital identity solutions. Over the past year, the firm onboarded major global banks as validation agents for the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), reinforcing its role in the wider digital identity ecosystem.
Board Director Paul Tourret noted that Edwards’s operational insight will be “instrumental as we build on our position as the global number one accredited LEI Issuer and continue delivering mission critical Digital Identity enterprise solutions to the world’s most regulated industries.” Octopus Ventures partner and Ubisecure Non-Executive Director Paul Davidson added that Edwards’s track record “makes him the perfect addition” to drive the next phase of growth.
With compliance obligations growing ever more complex, and fraud risks rising in cross-border commerce, Ubisecure’s enhanced leadership line-up aims to meet market demand for robust, technology first identity and compliance platforms. The company’s suite of RegTech offerings helps enterprises simplify governance, reduce risk and stay ahead of evolving global regulations.
