CUBE, a global leader in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM), has today announced a series of experienced additions to its board as it continues to extend its leading position and continue its transformational growth.
Chris Jurasek has joined CUBE’s board as Non-Exec Chair.

Chris has worked with companies across software, technology and professional services. He is also the current CEO of Chelsea F.C., the English Premier League football club.
Emma Brown will be joining CUBE’s board as Chief Financial Officer. She is an accomplished finance professional and brings over 15 years of experience in scaling high-growth global businesses across the tech and services sectors, both in the UK and Australia. Emma was awarded an MBA scholarship by the United Nations Women's Committee, recognising her dedication to creating career opportunities for women and the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Stéphane Besson joined CUBE’s board earlier this year and will be continuing as Non-Exec Director. He played a key role in supporting CUBE’s recent acquisitions and brings extensive experience in driving growth and building teams across the financial services and tech industries; particularly in London, New York and Paris. Stéphane worked at McKinsey and BNP Paribas, as well as a leading financial services tech and data company where he was CEO.
The additions will form CUBE’s board alongside its Founder and CEO, Ben Richmond, as well as Christopher Fielding and Thomas Martin, both representing CUBE’s strategic investment partner, Hg.
CUBE’s Non-Exec Chair, Chris Jurasek, said: “There are many reasons why the opportunity to be part of CUBE appealed to me. Not least because this pioneering business has already demonstrated impressive innovation to become an industry leader building a best-in-class regulatory data and AI solution for its customers. I’m excited to be part of this journey with CUBE as it continues to deliver the global regulatory agenda for the financial services sector and I’m looking forward to supporting the leadership team to drive sustainable, long-term growth.”
On her upcoming role at CUBE, Emma Brown said: “CUBE’s trajectory to date has been incredibly impressive and it is amazing what the team have already achieved. The business has so much opportunity in front of it and is a true champion in its sector. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be part of CUBE and look forward to using my experience in scaling global tech businesses to help CUBE further cement its leading position and serve its global customer base.”
Stéphane Besson, Non-Executive Director at CUBE, said: “There is a big challenge for financial services firms meeting their regulatory requirements and it’s been getting bigger over the last fifteen years. CUBE provides the best solution to this challenge and I look forward to continuing my support of the incredibly strong team at CUBE as we execute on our global growth strategy and support our customers in global financial services with their ever-changing regulatory requirements.”
Discussing the board updates, CUBE’s Founder and CEO, Ben Richmond, said: “The appointments of Chris, Emma and Stéphane further develops CUBE’s highly skilled senior leadership team and board. They will provide experienced leadership to support the long-term ambition and strategy of the business, and I look forward to working alongside them in the years ahead. With our continued growth and recent transformative acquisitions, 2024 is sure to be another hugely exciting year for all at CUBE.
“I would also like to thank our outgoing board advisors for all their support to date and with this transition, we recognise the key role they have played over the years at CUBE and wish them all the very best.”
