The partnership strengthens Fimatix’s wider digital transformation offering, which enables organisations to expertly accelerate their digital development.

Fimatix CEO Tim Howarth said of the partnership:

“I have worked with Corlytics since 2014, we share a passion for putting technology at the heart of compliance.  With the team at Fimatix we’ve become well-acquainted with Corlytics’ innovation, expertise, and state of the art regtech products. It has been impressive to see Corlytics’ journey so far, and we are excited to be included in that as a formal partner in the future.

“I believe that together we can make significant improvements in risk and compliance effectiveness, benefitting organisations and end users throughout the financial services industry.  As ESG compliance increases in intensity there is huge demand for more efficient regulatory solutions and Corlytics has been leading this charge.”

Corlytics CEO John Byrne said:

“We have been partnering with Fimatix since both companies’ inception, working on transforming operating models essential in digitising the regulatory monitoring and change management processes at large financial services firms.

“Fimatix’s rapid rise reflects the success of its clients in embracing change in digitising their businesses, and we are excited to be working with them in partnership. We believe that the Fimatix’s Digital Transformation Experience and Capabilities can help customers to adopt our advanced regulatory technology, such that new ways of working, new operating models and new technology are fully adopted, used and deliver the value promised by these new technologies.”

Fimatix has announced the appointment of Cristóbal Conde as Non-Executive Chairman effective from 23 March 2021.

Conde was subsequently promoted to run the entire SunGard business, which he took private in 2005 in a record-breaking $11.3bn LBO transaction. Conde stepped down from SunGard in May 2011, by which time the technology giant had revenues of $5.6bn, employed over 25,000 globally, was ranked 380th on the Fortune 500 list and was the largest privately held business software and IT services company in the world.

This is an exciting time for the business and I am proud to be working with the management team as they execute the roadmap to further growth, through building strong solutions and targeted acquisitions.”

Tim Howarth, CEO of Fimatix, said: “We are honoured that Cris will be taking the role of Chairman. His insight and experience of building successful businesses will be a great asset to Fimatix as we continue to target organic growth and acquisitions. As a company we want to provide technological innovation, and solutions that are relevant to client demands, for the good of society, the economy and people around the world. Chris shares our values and ambition for Fimatix and we are pleased to welcome him to the board.”

Conde joins the company a year since the merger of Fimatix and Agilesphere. With a team of over 150 staff, partners and associates, and offices in London and Newcastle, the combined company has a good foundation from which it offers services at scale.
