Beyond FS hires Jonathan Kohler from Amazon Web Services

After a lengthy career at MS Amlin, Kohler, who joins Beyond FS as a manager, brings world-class experience in the application of data and technology solutions for the many and varied challenges banks and financial institutions face today.

This new role will build on the hands-on work in programme management and exceptional operational experience Kohler will support new technology and data capability in the team, and will help facilitate new opportunities in this space for Beyond FS.

Formed in 2018, Beyond FS designs and delivers complex change and transformation, helping financial institutions to improve their operations, drive value from data and technology, implement regulatory change, and tackle financial crime.

Co-founder and Partner, Matt Neill, said: “Our team has grown exponentially in the last few months, and our resolve is as strong as ever - to help financial institutions get ahead of the technological and data issues that keep them awake at night, so they can excel in serving their own customers.

“Our consultants come from a variety of backgrounds, but the one thing they have in common is their deep familiarity with the financial services industry. Jonathan is no different, and we value immensely his track record of improving operational performance which will make him a very powerful asset to our growing company.”

Beyond FS has enjoyed a slew of new hires recently, including ex-Capco consultants Ilai Schechter and Alistair Goggin - a sure sign of its growth, and a reflection of the ever-changing financial services landscape as regulation and compliance matters become ever-more important.

Speaking about his new role, Jonathan Kohler said: “I’m very excited to bring my expertise to life in this new role at Beyond FS. With its focus on solutions and giving hands-on support to clients, I know it will be a very rewarding career move.”

Kohler starts his new role as manager this week.
