Former JP Morgan and KPMG leaders join London-based Quantexa

Former JP Morgan Chase CIO and ex-chairman of KPMG have joined UK-based data and analytics firm Quantexa’s advisory board following its $65 million Series C funding round.

Anabelle Bexiga and Simon Collins will support the company's global growth drive and help expand its platform application portfolio across financial services and into new sectors.

Quantexa is seeking to capitalise on accelerating client demand, its growing global partner ecosystem and further expanding its regional operations into North America, Asia-Pacific and European territories.

Bexiga has over 30 years’ experience in financial services technology, having held C-Suite roles and led large technology teams at several global financial services firms, including CIO roles at TIAA, Bain Capital, AIG, and JP Morgan Chase.

Collins was chairman and senior partner of KPMG until 2017. He holds a variety of chair, board and advisory roles with UK and international technology-enabled companies including Decoded, Signal-ai and Mind Maze.

Vishal Maria, chief executive of Quantexa, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Annabelle and Simon to Quantexa’s advisory board. Their extensive executive experience will complement our board’s existing world-class business, financial and technology experience gained at some of the most successful global businesses including Oracle, Tableau, Accenture, MI5 and ABN AMRO. As Quantexa scales into new markets and further develops its userbase and market footprint, our advisory board will continue to support us in shaping our strategy and execution, playing a key role in our growth journey.”
