Our strength comes from seeing things differently to the rest of the marketplace and we’re determined to continue with that approach. Hubwise is and will always be an intuitive and comprehensive platform for the wealth and investment communities, led by the requirements of those very communities.
Chief Executive Officer
Angus has almost 30 years’ experience in financial services, covering most aspects of the industry from system design and installation to establishing and running a fully regulated outsourced clearer. Angus was one of the original architects and authors of JHC’s FIGARO product, developed as the key integrated system for brokers and investment managers and used by major institutions, and it was his vision to develop a business that automated funds administration and settlement that saw Hubwise established in 2011.
Angus studied Applied Physics at university in Scotland, loves Bruce Springsteen (almost as much as his wife), exercise (as it allows him to eat whatever he fancies) and winning (at squash, tennis, cards, well anything really...).
Director of Finance & Operations
Ian has over 30 years of experience within Financial Services, working in a variety of sectors. His most recent role was as the Finance and Business Services Director at Platform Securities (formally TD Wealth Institutional) from January 2013 until August 2021 where his primary focus was on running the Operational areas for the outsourced Securities processing business and where he was responsible for 60 members of staff, whilst retaining oversight of the Finance Function and reporting Financial performance to the Board. Ian was FCA approved and this included having responsibility for the Safe Custody of Client Asset which totalled circa £20bn in Stocks and £1bn in Cash. In this role, he held senior manager function registration SMF2, SMF3, and SMF5.
R&D Director
Gary held a variety of IT roles before his introduction to financial services as Programme Director of Charles Schwab Europe, where he designed and implemented rolling settlement and Crest. Gary was CTO of OMX Securities between 2002 and 2009 and he is a director and founder of Safe Financials, which he founded in 2000; Safe Financials have been successfully operating the Crest simulator since then and provide testing and support services with over 60 million messages processed annually.
In his younger days, Gary was in the army. Now he races cars in his spare time, has a passion for black Labradors and is something of a whisky connoisseur.
Head of Client Services
Viki started her career in financial services over 25 years ago with ShareLink and then with Charles Schwab Europe, gaining experience throughout the organisation and specialising in Brokerage Operations and Programme Management. She joined OMX Securities in 2004 and was appointed Chief Operating Officer in 2006 where the operation had in excess of £5.5 billion assets under administration and settled over 6,000 trades daily worldwide. Following the sale to TD, she continued to be accountable for the institutional operation before joining Hubwise in 2012.
Viki spends much of her free time riding across the beautiful Cannock Chase in sunshine, wind and rain. She enjoys an eclectic taste in music and these days can sometimes be found crowd-surfing or in the mosh pit at a serious music venue in Birmingham!!
