Digital advice provider, Ignition Advice, has made an addition to its board with the appointment of Ken Lambden as a Non-Executive Director.

Effective as of 30 January, the UK-based Lambden brings over three decades of experience in the financial services industry and investment management in particular.

He was most recently the Chief Executive Officer at J O Hambro Capital Management and was the Chief Investment Officer at Baring Asset Management prior to that.

He also enjoyed a variety of roles at Schroders Investment Management across 15 years, including Global Head of Equities, Chief Executive Officer of Australia, and Head of Australian Equities.

“Ken’s extensive credentials and global experience will greatly assist Ignition in achieving its strategy of becoming the leading global digital advice provider for financial institutions,” Ignition Chairman, Peter Meurer, said.

“His appointment strengthens the support that our new global CEO, Terry Donohoe, has on the ground in the important UK and European markets.”

Lambden has also been a Non-Executive Director of Quilter Financial Planning since March 2020.
