Asset Control, a financial services data manager, made two appointments to its senior management team. Peter Bennfors joins the company from Misys as CFO and Rich Katsoff joins from IBM in a newly created role as head of services.
As CFO, Bennfors will play a crucial role to help implement Asset Control’s strategy and its expansion across a range of clients and geographies.
The head of services job is a far-ranging role, created with greater streamlining of global processes and operations in mind. In that position, Katsoff will have direct responsibility for the pre-sales and account management functions, as well as Asset Control’s professional services organization and Solution Center.
Katsoff also will oversee the company’s approach to relationships with alliance partners.
“We are delighted that two executives of this caliber will be joining the company, as we focus on building a global leadership team with the experience and capability to support the next stage of Asset Control’s growth and success,” says Phil Lynch, Asset Control’s president and CEO. “Going forward we need to maintain the distinctive entrepreneurial energy that has made this company so successful while ensuring the transition to a functionally-aligned and integrated, global organization with breadth and depth of senior management. These appointments signal the start of an exciting new phase at Asset Control, as we focus on expanding the scope and scale of our business, building on a strong existing core and an impressive client base.”
