Mobius appoints new CTO to support next phase of growth

Mobius, the pensions infrastructure platform, has appointed Lee Nicholls as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead its technology strategy as the business enters its next phase of growth following the announcement of its acquisition by Motive Partners, subject to regulatory approval.

Lee brings extensive leadership experience across fintech and financial services, with a strong track record in building and leading technology teams through periods of growth and transformation.

He will report directly to James Finch, CEO at Mobius and join the Executive Committee.

Lee’s appointment is the latest step forward for Mobius. As the business enters its next phase of growth, technology will play a central role in enhancing Mobius’ market leading client offering, further strengthening the operating platform and supporting the development of new products and services.

Before joining Mobius, Lee spent more than five years as CTO of InvestCloud, where he oversaw the development of its digital wealth technology.

Lee also spent more than eighteen years earlier in his career at Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, where he became CIO of EMEA Global Markets Technology.

James Finch, CEO at Mobius, said: “We are delighted to welcome Lee to Mobius. He joins us at an exciting point in our growth as we accelerate building the technology needed to reshape how pensions and long-term savings are administered.
“As the pensions and savings industry evolves, technology will play an increasingly important role in helping schemes operate more efficiently and innovate more quickly.
“Lee’s combination of strategic leadership and deep technical expertise will help us provide our clients with more flexible and innovative solutions, enabling them in turn to serve their members better, supporting improved retirement outcomes for millions.”

Lee Nicholls, CTO at Mobius, said: “Mobius is at an important point in its growth, with technology central to the next phase of the business. We have a real opportunity to use technology, data and AI responsibly to accelerate how we operate, scale the business and innovate for our clients.
“I’m excited to build on the strong foundations already in place and turn that opportunity into better outcomes for our clients and their customers.”
