Novatus Global has announced the addition of Nick Baker, co-founder of Alpha FMC, to its senior leadership as the new Chairman.
Novatus Global stands out as a specialist in the RegTech and advisory realm, offering targeted solutions for a rapidly evolving financial services landscape. Their forte lies in delivering regulatory technology insights and advisory services that align with the intricate demands of the sector.
Nick Baker, with a staggering 25 years in global strategic consulting and FinTech, has carved a niche for himself, especially with his co-founding role at Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (Alpha FMC). Having served 15 years there, first as an executive director and later as a senior adviser, Nick was instrumental in guiding the company’s journey from its humble beginnings to its eventual IPO on the London AIM in 2017.
Over the years, Nick’s expertise has spread across multiple FinTech endeavours. His previous roles include CEO of Alpha FMC’s software division (now Aiviq), senior adviser at Catelas Inc, and a non-executive director position at Dragonfly. Further enriching his portfolio, he chairs entities like Amplify Trading, White Marble Consulting, and MAIA Technology, demonstrating a vast spectrum of roles across finance, marketing, and software domains.
The decision to bring Nick onboard underscores Novatus’ dedication to scaling up and enhancing its global footprint. This strategic move comes on the heels of a 2022 investment by Maven Capital Partners, a step aimed at bolstering Novatus Global’s growth in both its tech and advisory spheres.
Novatus Global Partner and co-founder Andrew Hedley said, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Marcus for the significant role he played in the firm’s growth over the past three years. We are delighted to welcome Nick to the team, whose experience will be invaluable as we continue developing and providing best-in-class RegTech solutions and bespoke advisory services for our clients.”
Matthew Ranson, Partner and co-founder of Novatus Global, added, “Nick brings a wealth of experience after having successfully co-founded an advisory firm and been instrumental in its global expansion and IPO. With our global market estimated at around £20bn per annum, we are well positioned to take advantage of significant growth opportunities. We look forward to working with him to deliver on our ambitious growth and international expansion strategy.”
Nick Baker, Incoming Chairman, commented, “I am very impressed by the Novatus Global team and by what they have achieved since their inception. I am excited by the firm’s potential, and I look forward to working with Andrew, Matthew and the team to continue to deliver market leading solutions to our clients, as well as accelerating the growth of the business internationally.”
