Recently rejuvenated London-based CFD and spread betting company London Capital Group Holdings plc (LON:LCG) continues to attract high quality senior executives to its board following a complete turnaround in fortunes following new President Charles-Henri Sabet’s £17 million financing and restructuring plan.
Today, two further non-executive directors have been appointed at LCG, one of whom is former Dresdner Kleinwort Managing Director Nicholas Lee, whose tenure at the conglomerate was extensive, spanning from 1988 to 2009 across the company and its antecedent firms from 1988 to 2009, starting at Kleinwort Benson Group plc and rising to Managing Director, Head of Banking and Hedge Fund Solutions.
Mr. Lee’s former clients included leading European financial services firms and large industrial, consumer leisure and technology companies. Mr Lee is currently executive chairman of AIM-listed Paternoster Resources plc and non-executive director of AIM-listed MX Oil plc. Nicholas was previously a director and head of corporate finance at Novus Capital Markets Limited and a director of AIM-listed Metal Tiger plc and Plutus Powergen plc.
Mr. Lee qualified as a chartered accountant with Coopers & Lybrand and has an MA in engineering from St John’s College, Cambridge, and will bring to the board valuable investment banking advisory experience and cross-sector corporate strategy expertise to the board.
The second appointment to be announced today is that of Rebecca Fuller, who assumes the post as non-executive director, bringing with her 20 years of experience as a practising lawyer in governance, regulation and risk management within leading international financial institutions and at some of the world’s largest law firms.
