LBR announces leadership expansion to drive accelerated growth

The significant development of LBR’s leadership team will allow the business to cement its market-leading position in its core markets and step up further its growth across the board.

LBR, a technology-driven information services business powering the global legal, intellectual property and governance, risk, and compliance markets, has appointed a Chief Revenue Officer, Nick Fielden; welcomed a new Chief Financial Officer Alastair Brooks; and promoted Clare Bolton to Chief Content Officer.

“LBR is at a really exciting stage of growth, and I am confident this expanded team will help us take the business to the next level,” says Chief Executive Officer Nick Brailey. “Nick, Alastair and Clare’s skills and expertise will support our deep focus on providing our clients with the knowledge, data and connections they need to succeed, and I am thrilled to welcome them to the team.”

Alastair Brooks joined as Chief Financial Officer in November from GL Education, an edtech business specialising in digital assessments and analytics for schools. He has worked in financial roles in the outsourcing and travel industries, having started his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Nick Fielden joined as Chief Revenue Officer in August. He was previously Chief Commercial Officer for Omdia Research at Informa Tech, and has had significant spells at Forrester Research, EY and Ovum within a career in the market intelligence and advisory industry.

Clare Bolton has stepped up to the role of Chief Content Officer, having worked in the business for nearly 20 years. In that time she has run a number of products and teams, including overseeing the launch of fast-growth products such as Lexology PRO, a global legal research solution; and the integration of successful acquisitions in LBR’s growth journey such as Docket Navigator, a market-leading litigation analytics tool in IP.

In May, LBR welcomed new backing from ICG and LLCP to support its growth ambitions globally. This expansion of its leadership team is the latest step to enable its users to find their competitive edge and make decisions with confidence, armed with the insight they need.
