What Lumi Global does

Lumi Global is a UK-headquartered governance technology company that provides software and managed services for annual general meetings (AGMs), shareholder meetings, investor relations events, and elections. The company operates three core product lines: the Lumi Platform (a cloud-based meeting system supporting virtual, hybrid, and in-room formats with integrated voting, live Q&A, document management, and real-time dashboards), Lumi Elections (comprising Electa for fully managed high-stakes elections and Eligo, acquired in November 2025, for self-service scalable elections), and Lumi Experience Venues (professional event venues in Canada with live broadcast and AV capabilities). The platform supports multi-channel voting via web browsers, iPad kiosks, and hybrid configurations, with end-to-end encryption, audit trails, multi-factor authentication, and integrations such as Denmark's MitID national identity system. The company is aligned with GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO/IEC 27001 (in implementation), and South Africa's PoPI Act.

Lumi serves a diversified enterprise and institutional customer base including listed companies (Shell, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, BP, Tesco, M&S, McDonald's, H&M, Rolls-Royce), professional organizations, unions, sporting federations (FIA, ITTF, World Sailing, USA Swimming, European Olympic Committees), educational institutions, religious organizations, homeowner associations, and government municipalities. Named case studies span more than 30 customer logos across banking, energy, retail, telecommunications, manufacturing, and nonprofit sectors, with cumulative operational scale of 42 million voters served across 8,000+ elections and 5,000+ meetings and elections delivered annually in 40+ markets.

The business model combines platform licensing and subscription revenue, fully managed election services (Electa), self-service election tooling (Eligo), professional services for setup and live support, and event venue services. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to organization size and requirements, typically delivered under multi-year contracts. The company operates a direct enterprise field sales motion with regional offices in 12 countries and has recently pursued inorganic expansion through the acquisitions of Assembly Voting (Denmark, December 2024) and Eligo (Italy, November 2025), funded in part by Vespa Capital's 2022 investment. The company is privately held with leadership including CEO Richard Taylor, COO Pete Fowler, CFO Rahul Shah, and CTO Marc Harper.
