Axioma Taps UBS Delta’s Ian Lumb to Lead Risk Solutions
Lumb joins New York-based risk management technology vendor after nearly a dozen years at UBS Delta.

Prior to joining Axioma, Lumb spent 11 years with UBS Delta, initially covering Northern European accounts, with a focus on asset managers, pension funds and insurers. He played an important role in the sale of the business to StatPro earlier this year.
“Ian brings to Axioma in-depth expertise in the areas of fixed income and multi-asset risk, performance attribution, and portfolio construction,” said Chris Canova, senior managing director, global product specialists at Axioma. “He is a superb fit to shape the future direction of our risk products and lead our experienced team of risk solutions specialists, who partner with customers to maximize Axioma solution value for their risk and portfolio management needs.”
Axioma has made several other high-level appointments over the course of the year, hiring Jacqueline Gaillard as managing director for people and talent in March, and appointed ex-CEO of Barclays Global Investors, Blake Grossman, to the Axioma board of directors in October.
