CFH Clearing Appoints Remonda Z. Kirketerp-Møller as Non-Executive Director

“Since the PlayTech acquisition we have transformed into a larger organisation and, as a result, have been looking to find a top-tier Non-Executive Director with in-depth knowledge about our regulatory requirements and a proven track record in our industry at a senior level” – Matthew Maloney, CEO, CFH Clearing

Remonda Z. Kirketerp-Møller, one of the founders of CFH Clearing, has been appointed as Non-Executive Director of the London-headquartered Prime of Prime firm.

Remonda, a qualified solicitor, co-founded CFH Clearing in 2008 with Christian Frahm and Lars Holst, having worked with them both at Saxo Bank where she was a Director and Head of Legal & Market Data in the Legal & Compliance Department. She spent four years at CFH Clearing as Head of Legal & Compliance, was on the Board of Directors and served as the company’s Compliance Officer. She was also a Co-Founder and Executive Director of CFH Group.

Remonda left the business in 2012 to set up her own RegTech company, muinmos ApS after spotting a gap in the market to use technology to automate highly complex legal and regulatory challenges in financial services, specifically in client onboarding. With 16 years’ experience in the industry, she is a renowned expert in Fintech, RegTech and regulatory matters in financial services.

Matthew Maloney, CEO, CFH Clearing comments, “Since the PlayTech acquisition we have transformed into a larger organisation and, as a result, have been looking to find a top-tier Non-Executive Director with in-depth knowledge about our regulatory requirements and a proven track record in our industry at a senior level. Remonda’s knowledge of our business, combined with her legal expertise, business acumen, industry knowledge, leadership and management skills are very rare and we are delighted that she has accepted the role.”

Remonda Z. Kirketerp-Møller adds, “It is a real pleasure to be returning to CFH Clearing, leveraging my legal, regulatory and technological expertise, with 16 years’ experience in the financial sector and having been involved in many international set-ups and transactions. From the outset, CFH Clearing has been ambitious and now, as part of the TradeTech Group, is on an even faster growth path – so it’s a very exciting time to be involved with the business.

“In my new role, I am looking to add value from a business, legal and regulatory viewpoint, chairing the audit committee and ensuring that CFH has strong processes and governance in place to meet all the legal, regulatory and compliance requirements. I am passionate and proud about playing a key role in the next growth phase of this market leading business.”
