Ubisecure Appoints Tom Edwards as Executive Chair to Accelerate Growth in RegTech, Digital Identity and Compliance Markets

London, July 22nd, 2025 – Ubisecure, the European digital identity services provider and world’s largest issuer of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) through its RapidLEI service, today announced the appointment of Tom Edwards as the company’s Executive Chair, effective immediately. This strategic appointment marks the next chapter in the company’s RegTech evolution as it accelerates its growth in the global compliance and digital identity markets.

With a proven track record in scaling high-growth technology businesses, Mr Edwards brings deep expertise in corporate strategy, driving operational excellence, and enterprise go-to-market execution, particularly within regulated, compliance critical industries. He will work closely with Ubisecure’s leadership team to guide the company’s strategic direction, scale operations, and deepen relationships with global customers, partners and institutions.

“I’m excited to join Ubisecure at a pivotal moment of growth,” said Edwards. “Managing the opportunities presented in the RegTech market by Digital Identity, both Individual and Organisational, is essential in today’s landscape of expanding regulation, national identity initiatives, and ever rising fraud, especially in cross border transactions. The company is uniquely positioned to address some of the most pressing market challenges by enabling digital identity, to ensure regulatory compliance and foster digital trust. I look forward to working with the team as we accelerate innovation and expand across our markets.”

Mr Edwards previously held the COO and then CEO role at CubeLogic, an enterprise risk and compliance provider, where he scaled the business to double the revenue and the customer base during his leadership. He has also held leadership and advisory roles across fintech, reg-tech, and enterprise data infrastructure, bringing a strong track record of execution and growth in mission-critical technology environments.

“Tom’s appointment reflects Ubisecure’s ambition to maximise growth from our position as the world’s largest issuer of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) and one of Europe’s foremost Digital Identity service providers,” said Paul Tourret, Board Director, Ubisecure. “Tom’s insight and leadership will be instrumental as we build on our position as the global number one accredited LEI Issuer and continue delivering mission-critical Digital Identity enterprise solutions to the world’s most regulated industries.”

“We are delighted to welcome Tom as the new Executive Chair of Ubisecure,” said Paul Davidson, Partner, Octopus Ventures & Non-Executive Director, Ubisecure. “His extensive operational leadership and track record in scaling technology businesses make him the perfect addition to our team as we deliver on the growth opportunities across our core RegTech and Digital Identity solutions.”

Ubisecure’s suite of RegTech solutions helps enterprises and financial institutions solve key compliance, fraud and operational challenges by adopting a technology first approach to meet global regulations, reduce risk and deliver simplified governance.

The appointment follows a twelve-month period of positive momentum for Ubisecure, particularly within the LEI space including under its RapidLEI brand, and the onboarding of new major global banks as GLEIF Validation Agents – further strengthening its role in the global identity and RegTech ecosystem.
