Replacing Gehan Talwatte, who has served as Chair for the past two years, Erlandson brings knowledge in executive leadership, strategy and innovation to the position, as well as over 30 years of senior leadership experience in the data and analytics sector.
The regulatory intelligence solutions provider noted that he has “led successful digital transformations, spearheaded product development initiatives, built high-performing teams, and leveraged data-driven insights to deliver exceptional results for clients”.
As Chair, Erlandson will utilise his industry experience and leadership to support Vixio’s growth, assisting with new product launches and expansion into the wider financial services industry and new territories.
“I am honoured to join Vixio as Chair and excited to contribute to the company’s continued success and growth,” commented Erlandson on his new role.
“Vixio’s commitment to the RegTech space, combined with its innovative AI-driven platform that enhances data insights and streamlines workflows, positions the company as a leader in regulatory intelligence.
“I look forward to helping steer Vixio through this exciting period of innovation and expansion, delivering impactful solutions for our customers, future customers, and employees alike.”
Previously, Erlandson has held the roles of CEO of Dun & Bradstreet UK, Managing Director at Thomson Reuters, Chief Commercial Officer at GfK, and CEO of Automotive Transformation Group.
He is currently an advisor to Spotlio, as well as CEO at TNW, a Financial Times company, reporting to the Financial Times Board.
“We are delighted to welcome Christian to Vixio, and extend a heartfelt thanks to Gehan for his invaluable contributions to support Vixio’s expansion over the past two years,” stated Mike Woolfrey, CEO of Vixio.
“Christian’s extensive leadership experience, strategic vision, and commitment to fostering innovation will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our position as a leader in the RegTech market.”
Gurinder Sunner, Partner at Perwyn, the European private equity investor which acquired Vixio in December 2022, added: “Christian’s exceptional track record of driving growth and delivering value to stakeholders makes him the perfect leader to guide Vixio into its next phase of success.
