Founder's Background

Thomas McHugh is co-founder and CEO of FINBOURNE. Founded in December 2016, the company was formed with a mission to reduce the cost of investing and increase transparency for financial services firms.

As a scale-up moving at pace, FINBOURNE’s SaaS and cloud-native solutions deliver an interoperable Modern Financial Data Stack, solving the very real challenges the Buy Side face with data management.

The company and its founders are focused on bringing change to an industry that has long suffered from a failure to solve diminished trust and a detrimental lack of timely data. While this means challenging traditional constructs, such as front-to-back change and buy Vs build, Tom is passionate about delivering innovation that is both sympathetic and iterative.

Prior to founding FINBOURNE, Tom spent his career building world-class technology for global financial institutions including RBS and UBS where he most recently led quantitative development.
