Colbourne joined FTSE in March 1998 and in his most recent role with the firm was a Director working with the Regional Managing Directors to develop and maintain FTSE’s relationships with its major clients and potential clients.
Prior to that he was Chairman of FTSE Asia Pacific, where he headed the company’s expansion into the region and the development of the FTSE Xinhua index series. He has also been Head of Research & Development and Director of Operations.
"Graham Colbourne brings with him a wealth of relationships, Index and product knowledge as well as deep understanding of Institutional asset allocation and their investment processes", says Simon Hookway, CEO of MSS Capital Limited.

He finally returned to London as Director of IT and Operations. In his last post before joining FTSE Group, he was Managing Director of a regional retail stock-broking firm.
