KNEIP has continued to underline its digital transformation in the funds management sector with more industry experts joining their team.

Over the last two years, KNEIP has transformed its business into a new digital era. Leading this vision is Bob Kneip, founder and chairman, who will continue to support the management and strategy of KNEIP. Having assisted KNEIP with the business transformation and readying KNEIP to be global and digital, Lee Godfrey, current chief executive officer, CEO, will move into a newly formed role as chief corporate development officer, to truly take our digital business global and into new vertical markets.

Neil Ward will become CEO, activating the new business strategy and empowering a strongly forecasted growth. Neil brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as SVP and general manager, GM of Global Business Operations at Skype.

Furthermore, Sigrid Nygaard Johansen will be joining KNEIP as the new chief commercial officer, CCO. Sigrid’s proven track record as CCO and VP Global Sales at eGiss will be a valuable asset to KNEIP.

Kneip said, the company “is going through an extraordinary period of digital transformation. We are about to launch an integrated online digital platform with the vision of improving the funds industry for investors, by providing greater efficiencies and transparency for asset managers. We are strengthening the Executive Leadership Team to guide KNEIP in the right direction, continuously challenging the status quo and offering invaluable insights.”

Incoming Ward also said, “KNEIP’s vision is innovative in the world of financial data management and I look forward to joining Mr Kneip and the Board of Directors in delivering the global business strategy and digital transformation and re-enforcing KNEIP’s presence in the international market.”
