LPA, the financial markets software and advisory firm, today announced that it had appointed Matthias Schulz as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to oversee the development of LPA’s technology stack and support clients along their digital transformation journeys.

Matthias joins LPA with a wealth of experience, ranging from ITERGO to Solera, Ingenico and ING. Having led large technology teams and transformational projects, Matthias will lead all of LPA’s engineering efforts going forward, creating synergies between different product teams and positioning the company as an innovative business that is accelerating the transformation of financial markets through next-generation technology.

Commenting on his appointment, Matthias said: “This is an exciting time for the financial services sector. The speed of change and innovation is unprecedented, and many firms struggle to keep up without the adequate support of a technology partner. From regulatory compliance to workflow automation technology, LPA has proved to be a trusted and valuable partner to the industry for over 20 years. I look forward to working together with a brilliant team of engineers to help clients navigate the latest wave of market volatility.”

“As we continue to expand our global footprint, we recognise the need to build easily scalable and high-performing software solutions. Our technology is second to none in the industry and with Matthias’ addition to the team, we will ensure LPA remains a global leader in the years to come. His experience and skills match perfectly with our newly released mantra of Defy, Deploy, Run.” commented Stefan Lucht, Founder of LPA.
