GBST has appointed Kirsty Worgan as chief commercial officer.
Worgan returns to GBST after previously holding the role of head of business development for Europe, Middle East and Africa from 2007 to 2014.
Based in London, Worgan will join the executive team and will report to global CEO, Robert DeDominicis.
As chief commercial officer, Worgan will be responsible for delivering GBST’s global growth strategy and leading the development and delivery of its wealth management commercial plans, working closely with DeDominicis and board.
In addition, Worgan will manage commercial growth opportunities, mergers and acquisitions, and assist with sales and product expansion.
She will also support regionally based leaders to drive adoption of GBST’s back-office administration technology and tools and services for tax-aware investing and intelligent reporting, among other duties.
Prior to her role as chief commercial officer at GBST, Worgan was chief commercial officer at Smart Pensions from 2019 to 2022.
GBST is a specialist financial technology company that provides administration and transaction processing software for retail wealth management organisations and global and regional investment banks.
Commenting on her new role, Worgan says: “Having been part of the original team that helped establish GBST in the UK over a decade ago, I am excited to re-join the organisation. GBST has always been committed to continued technology innovation, but I have been particularly impressed by the significant investment and progress it has made in transforming its underlying product architecture over the last two years.
She adds: “I am looking forward to working with the GBST team globally to execute on its business plans and drive the continued commercial advancement and success of its operations.”
DeDominicis comments: “Kirsty is well-known and highly regarded across the industry, and I am delighted to welcome her back to GBST. Kirsty’s extensive experience will be invaluable in accelerating our organic and acquisitive expansion plans.”
