James Crosby is the founder and CEO of Fencore, a next generation data management software company headquartered in Singapore. A UK national who grew up in Switzerland, he fell in love with programming at a young age and has spent over 20 years in software development & consulting, with over 15 years in data management for financial services. In that time he has lived in many financial centres, including London, Zurich, Sydney & Singapore, and managed successful implementations of data management software at financial institutions, including ANZ, HSBC, Manulife, UBS, & UOB. His experiences of the dated and difficult to configure software prevalent in the industry inspired him to launch Fencore and develop a suite of cloud-native data management platforms fit for the 21st century.
