Main Level hires Peter Wallqvist to scale options enterprise
Leading Point has appointed Peter Wallqvist as Chief Product Officer to support the consultancy in scaling their solution business.
Leading Point is a digital transformation consulting firm dedicated to the financial services industry. The consulting company works with financial institutions and fintechs and helps them to provide change programs, improve efficiency through process automation and agile working, and integrate technology into operations.
The London-based consultancy also has a solution branch that includes the following solutions: modellr, a tool that enables data-driven work; Data Innovation Index, a fast scan that measures readiness for data transformation; and Smart Dash, a tool that provides insights into regulatory health and key risk metrics.
The newly appointed Wallqvist will primarily focus on the latter solution, which holds great promise for expansion, said Rajen Madan, founder and CEO of Leading Point. “Banks spend over $ 270 billion a year on regulatory obligations alone. At the leading point, we know how this can be made more efficient. The market opportunity for increased efficiency in regulation is enormous. ”
Wallqvist brings over two decades of experience to the role. Wallqvist was the co-founder and CEO of RAVN Systems, one of the earliest legal AI and cognitive computing companies. After being acquired by the US-based document management solutions provider iManage in 2017, RAVN served as iManage’s Vice President of Strategy and Global Practice Director.
He will use his experience to support Leading Point with its product roadmap, go-to-market strategy and internationalization. “Peter has extensive experience building a valuable SaaS business from the ground up. He will be a real boost for our team. We look forward to welcoming him at this crucial moment. “
Commenting on his appointment, Wallqvist said, “I am delighted to be able to apply my knowledge and experience to a company that has such a deep understanding of its core market, a track record of collaborative transformation and innovative data solutions.”
Later this year, Leading Point plans to add an environmental, social and governance solution.
