Shownotes

Cornwall, in England’s far southwest, is known for its rugged coastline and mining heritage. Home to just over 600,000 people, it’s produced cultural icons from author William Golding to Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood - and now, CUBE’s Founder & CEO, Ben Richmond.

In 2008, as the world reeled from the fallout of the financial crisis, Ben saw an opportunity in the wreckage. Predicting a tidal wave of regulatory complexity, he set out to bring clarity to the chaos - creating a platform that could turn regulatory noise into actionable intelligence. That vision became CUBE, now a global leader in RegTech.

Recorded live at Boardwave Live, this conversation explores Ben’s journey from a working-class Cornish town to building a brand-new category, redefining compliance as not just a necessity but a strategic advantage and building one of the world’s leading RegTech firms.

Ben Richmond isn’t just navigating the future of compliance; he’s defining it. That's why they call him the Rockstar of RegTech.
