(Reuters) - Keir Gumbs, who left Covington & Burling three years ago to join Uber Technologies ahead of its 2019 initial public offering, is on the move again. This time he’s leaving his post as Uber’s deputy general counsel to take the top legal role at Broadridge Financial Solutions, one of a slew of recent in-house lawyer hires in the fintech field.
Washington D.C.-based Gumbs will be chief legal officer at Broadridge, which was ADP’s brokerage services unit before spinning off in 2007. The company, which provides technological infrastructure to banks, broker-dealers, asset and wealth managers and public companies, acquired electronic trading platform Itiviti in May. Last month it hired former Bloomberg global CEO of trading solutions Ray Tierney to lead the unit.
