SEI has appointed Sneha Shah as an executive vice president and head of new business ventures.
Shah, who will be reporting to CEO Ryan Hicke, will lead new business and platform identification and incubation, engage clients, accelerators, and the entrepreneurial community to invest in and accelerate new ideas and solutions and cultivate innovation that drives growth.
Shah has more than 25 years of experience in business leadership, strategy, and execution globally and most recently served as managing director and group head of the London Stock Exchange Group’s (LSEG) business accelerator.
Prior to LSEG, she was managing director, global head of risk-managed services at Refinitiv and managing director in Africa for Thomson Reuters.
Hicke says: “An important component to achieving our goals for growth is solidifying the foundation from which we launch new businesses that can contribute to our success. In order to consistently generate new business ideas, test, and launch them, we need to dig deep into our roots of innovation with a dedicated focus.
“Sneha brings a depth of exceptional global experience to established companies across industries, helping them identify and accelerate growth opportunities and drive organisational transformation. Her knowledge of industry trends and emerging technologies, as well as her leadership and relationships within the startup, private equity, and venture capital communities, will add tremendous value as we execute our growth strategies.
“As a critical member of the executive team, Sneha will bring fresh perspectives that will challenge our thinking and push us forward. We’re excited to welcome her to SEI.”
Shah says: “SEI has a strong history and culture of working with clients and communities to solve problems that matter. As the pace of change in the world continues to accelerate, SEI’s unique position in the financial services ecosystem offers opportunities to explore new possibilities that can drive growth and value for the company, our clients, and the industry.
“I’m thrilled to join the team and help build a strategic function that can create and capitalise on market opportunities and contribute to SEI’s next chapter of transformation and growth.”
