Dutch consultancy LeadingMile expands into the UK
LeadingMile boutique consultancy has announced its arrival in the UK with the launch of a location in London. The company from the Netherlands specializes in the implementation of investment solutions.
LeadingMe Consulting was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Amsterdam. In the past four years the company in the Netherlands has grown by over 50% year-on-year, including in 2020, and is now trying to expand into new global markets.
Martijn Voorhaar, Founder and CEO of LeadingMile, stated, “LeadingMile aims to bring cutting-edge technology into a traditional niche from this frontline perspective from the very beginning, offering cost-saving niche solutions and enabling customers to fulfill their ambitions.”
With the boutique looking to grow in the UK market – the world’s second largest national consulting market – LeadingMe has welcomed Lloyd Dean to the company. Having previously served as Director of Implementations at Charles River Development and Head of Professional Services for BlackRocks eFront UK, Dean brings more than 20 years of senior management experience and implementing fintech solutions across the asset management space .
This experience will be particularly important as LeadingMile is based in the UK capital to help clients in the alternative investment sector implement technology solutions. As the new UK Country Director, Dean will focus on strategic offerings in the UK while building and maintaining partnerships across the UK and the Channel Islands.
Commenting on the appointment, Voorhaar added: “Here at LeadingMile we are delighted to have Lloyd join our organization as Country Director for the UK. We have known each other for many years and firmly believe that we can meet our international ambitions with his many years of experience and track record in the market. Not just in the direction of the large UK market, but beyond. “
LeadingMile CEO added that he feels the company is “taking a big step” by entering “the UK post-Brexit market”. With the country’s vaccination program appearing to have paved the way for a return to normal for people and businesses, his company arrives “with great confidence,” Voorhaar said to continue growing its business.
