Nucleus has appointed Jeannie Bowman as its inaugural head of internal systems.

Bowman (pictured) joins Nucleus from Shell, where she undertook several global IT management projects and operations, in addition to audit management roles. Prior to this, she worked internationally as a regional senior IT technical consultant in Kuala Lumpur.

With 17 years’ experience in the energy industry in a variety of IT related roles, at Nucleus, Bowman will be leading the infrastructure and systems security teams, as well as having accountability for overseeing the development of the IT systems architecture and managing the change.

She said: “Nucleus is an innovative fintech company with a great reputation. It was a natural move, therefore, to join a company that places such an emphasis on technology and development.

Bowman will report into chief technology officer Andrew Smith.

Smith said: “She brings a wealth of insight into developing operational systems and ensuring they are robust, and her experience and knowledge of global businesses will play a huge role in helping us to continue to deliver an effective and secure service to our users.

“As the business continues to grow, experienced technology hires like this will only strengthen our proposition further and ensure the platform is future-proofed for years to come.”

Meanwhile, last month, Nucleus took a 15% hit to net inflows in the first six months of the year, but the firm said higher volatility and implementing changes around Mifid II and GDPR rules were to blame.
