Kaizen, a leading RegTech company offering compliance solutions to global financial institutions, has announced the appointment of Michael Leach as its new chief revenue officer (CRO).
Leach, formerly a senior executive at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), will be responsible for overseeing Kaizen’s revenue growth strategy and business development efforts.
Founded to help firms meet complex regulatory obligations, Kaizen specialises in regulatory compliance and reporting services, offering advanced solutions that help financial institutions improve data quality and meet evolving regulatory demands.
Michael Leach brings a wealth of experience to the role, having been one of the original founders of UnaVista, LSEG’s regulatory reporting platform, which has since evolved into LSEG Regulatory Reporting Solutions. At LSEG, Leach most recently held the position of global sales and regulatory reporting business development group director, where he was instrumental in driving global expansion and building successful commercial teams.
In his new position, Leach will lead Kaizen’s sales strategy, drive business development initiatives, and strengthen revenue operations. His appointment is expected to play a key role in scaling the company’s presence in new and existing markets.
Leach has had a longstanding relationship with Kaizen, having known the company since its early days. His deep familiarity with the regulatory reporting sector and experience in growing global brands positions him well to support Kaizen’s ambitious growth plans.
Michael Leach, chief revenue officer at Kaizen said, “I’m excited to join the Kaizen team and contribute to the company’s continued growth. I’ve seen firsthand the value and innovation the company brings to the regulatory reporting and compliance space. I look forward to working with the talented team here to accelerate our market presence and deliver exceptional value to our clients.”
Kaizen CEO Dario Crispini said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mike to our executive team. His extensive background at LSEG, combined with his deep understanding of our industry and proven track record in building successful sales organisations, makes him the ideal leader to drive our revenue growth strategy. Mike’s leadership and industry expertise will be instrumental in helping us achieve our ambitious growth and market expansion goals.”
Late last year, Kaizen and RegGenome announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the capabilities of Kaizen’s Single Rulebook platform.
The collaboration will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly expand the platform’s coverage, including new jurisdictions and regulatory domains.
The partnership is designed to support the digitisation of regulation, allowing clients to access a comprehensive array of global regulatory rules, jurisdictions, and taxonomies through the Single Rulebook platform. By integrating Single Rulebook’s advanced user interface with RegGenome’s AI-powered regulatory data, the two firms aim to set a new standard in regulatory intelligence and change management.
