LONDON, Tuesday, April 21, 2026 – ActiveViam, a leading provider of advanced risk analytics and decision-making solutions for financial services firms, announced industry leader Craig Butterworth is joining the company as Chief Growth Officer.
Butterworth joins having served as Chief Commercial Officer at global regulatory compliance software firm Droit, which was acquired by Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) earlier this year.
His career began in Fixed Income Sales at Goldman Sachs in 2001 and he went on to hold a number of sales leadership roles at RBS, RBC, State Street, Nomura and Symphony. It was during his time at Nomura, in his role of Global Head of Digital Client Ecosystem, that his passion for Digital Transformation was ignited – and which Butterworth feels is particularly pertinent to the mission at ActiveViam.
Throughout almost 20 years of working in some of the largest capital market businesses, it never ceased to surprise me how many mission critical decisions relied on disparate applications, siloed data and endless reconciliations to address the inconsistencies which this caused. As a result, at times when markets were at their most volatile and when the ability for traders and senior management to make critical decisions in real time was most important, they often had to rely on data manipulated in spreadsheets and ad-hoc data extracts.

Chief Growth Officer
He continues, “The need for firms to move beyond this patchwork approach towards a resilient, trusted, scalable and performant enterprise risk management platform has been clear to me for some time. The recent surge in generative AI usage has only further heightened this need. AI agents need to interact directly to explore, drill down and analyse metrics dynamically – like a human analyst but faster and without errors. Financial institutions of all shapes and sizes face this challenge. They need a technology partner who can provide these capabilities – both now and in the future. With ActiveViam’s AI-enabled Atoti platform, firms can enable users to cut through the noise and benefit from real-time insights thanks to their unified risk platform.”
This key appointment for ActiveViam comes at an exciting time in the company’s journey, after it was acquired by Nordic Capital in 2024. The company services more than 100 clients spanning tier 1 and tier 2 banks, asset managers, hedge funds, exchanges and energy trading firms. Following the acquisition, they have accelerated their investment in their AI and managed service offerings.
Atoti Intelligence – their AI module – is fully open and extensible. Clients control which LLM is used and how, ensuring safety and IP control. Through leveraging the real-time understanding and rich business context which their unified semantic layer provides, users can augment their existing AI programmes with maximum impact.
We are delighted to have Craig join us at this exciting time in the company’s story. In his role he will be responsible for augmenting our progress towards achieving Nordic’s value creation plan through improving client connectivity, strategic partnerships, corporate development and marketing. We see huge opportunity ahead and his breadth of experience and network will be invaluable as we accelerate forward.
