LMS welcomes Alexi Walsh as its new chief financial officer, showcasing further investment in high-calibre leadership to bolster and accelerate strategic growth. Bringing deep expertise in senior finance, SaaS, and digital identity, Alexi will support the company’s mission in making the home-buying-and-selling journey safer, faster, and easier.
Alexi’s previous experience includes working with PE-backed and high-growth businesses, helping scale operations, raising capital, and building teams that balance precision and pace. She has helped launch and scale digital identity and SaaS platforms globally, expanding into over 40 markets and shaping the commercial models that support long-term growth. Specifically, in 2016, Alexi was the general manager of the GOV.UK Verify programme, the government’s first efforts to tokenise digital identity, driving the creation of a digital identity passport.
She recently completed her Global Executive MBA with Distinction at Alliance Manchester Business School, specialising in Advanced Strategy and the Digital Economy, a programme that reinforced her passion for the role of data and technology.
At LMS, Alexi will primarily focus on National Property Transaction Network (NPTN), enhancing the network’s proposition to foster trust, drive growth among stakeholders, and help digitalise property transactions on a wider scale. Ultimately, by drawing on her experience in bringing technology, regulation, and collaboration together to make digital ecosystems work securely and efficiently, Alexi will help LMS to continue to build a truly interoperable, digital ecosystem, keeping it agnostic and focused on authenticated, shareable data.
Commenting on her new role at LMS, Alexi says: ‘My focus has always been on using finance to drive clarity of insight, enable decision-making, and support innovation, and now I look forward to building on my experience to help grow NPTN and future-proof property transactions within a mature industry that is long overdue for transformation.’
Nick Chadbourne, CEO at LMS, comments on the appointment: ‘These last 18 months have been a significant period of expansion for us at LMS, particularly as NPTN continues to grow and make a positive impact within the sector. With over 20 years of experience, Alexi will be a valuable member of our team at a critical time, supporting the company’s next phase of strategic and operational growth. We look forward to seeing how Alexi helps shape our decision-making and supports us on our mission to make conveyancing easier and safer for all.’
