Richard Lumb, a current director on the InvestCloud Board of Directors and experienced leader in the financial services industry, has been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer. The Board also has initiated a comprehensive search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer.

"As a SaaS platform built for the financial services industry, InvestCloud has a unique and compelling value proposition in solving the persistent and complex digital challenges across the industry. We believe that now is the time to set the company up for its next stage of growth," said Rob Heyvaert, Chairman of InvestCloud’s Board of Directors.

"I am excited to step into this role at a key moment for InvestCloud," said Mr. Lumb. "We believe the company is the SaaS leader in digital transformation and is changing how the world’s banks, wealth and asset managers work. The InvestCloud product, technology and team are world class, and I could not be more excited about the growth opportunity facing the company."

Richard Lumb has been a member of InvestCloud’s Board of Directors since February 2021, and brings four decades of experience within financial services to the role. Richard was Group Chief Executive - Financial Services and a member of the Executive Leadership team at Accenture. He led the acquisition of Duck Creek Technologies, now the SaaS leader in the insurance industry, and served on its Board from 2011 to 2019, including as Chairman from 2011 to 2016.
