(firmenpresse) - London Hong Kong Exchange Plc announces appointment of Wayne Lochner as new Group Chief Executive Officer
London, 14 June 2010, London Hong Kong Exchange Plc (“LHKX”) announces that Wayne Lochner will join LHKX as Group CEO effective immediately. Mr Lochner brings outstanding management ability and excellent leadership qualities to LHKX’s leadership team, long senior level experience in the international brokerage markets, and wide experience as a serial entrepreneur across technology, financial brokerage and sports betting.
Mr Lochner started his career with 20 years working and managing brokerage trading floors in almost every major financial centre throughout the Middle East and Asia with the majority of this time spent in Japan and Hong Kong. During 1975 – 1990, Mr Lochner was Managing Director Japan and Group Treasurer for money brokers M W Marshall. During 1990 to 1995, Mr Lochner was Chief Executive and Managing Director for MAI Plc (now United Business Media FTSE 250) for the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions.
Mr Lochner returned to London in 1995, and founded Affinity Internet Holdings Plc, which changed the way internet access, home telephony and mobiles were promoted to consumers through ’branded’ services utilised by 440 major brands across the UK. In 2003 he founded Betbrokers Plc, bringing together sports betting and financial trading offering brokerage and clearing to wholesale clients such as bookmakers, football club owners, financial traders and major sports bettors.
Currently, Mr Lochner is Chairman of UPAD Ltd, DTV Ltd., and Director of Loto World Inc, Carbon Advisory Group Plc, Ubitrac Ltd, and Sports Management Group Ltd.
Mr Lochner was awarded the Ernst & Young ‘London’s E-Business Entrepreneur of the Year’ in June 2000, was a finalist in the 2001 Alternative Investment Market (AIM) ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ Awards and in 2006 was the winner of the eGaming Awards – “Start-up Company of the Year”.
Mr Lochner’s non work interests are focused around charity fund raising and have included appeal boards of Bart’s Breast Cancer Centre, Darwin Two Centre of the Natural History Museum, City division of Help the Aged and Burbage School.
Mr Lochner commented on his appointment saying:
“LHKX operates in a market which has seen a complete loss of confidence in the way it operates. Almost everyone with any form of investment, pension or bank account is questioning why the value of their investments has fallen, why investments are presented as complex and expensive with little flexibility or transparency. LHKX redefines how retail class investors can access the professional financial markets maximising their confidence, control, pricing and visibility of their investments. I will guide LHKX’s leadership team to deliver an efficient, effective, and profitable proposition that will prove irresistible to the retail investor who wishes to recoup the losses and confidence that the last 2 years have taken from them. The recent turmoil and losses the financial markets have seen have given rise to the call for dramatic changes. LHKX is this disruptive change in the way investors access professional financial markets.”
