GBST nabs SS&C sales lead

GBST, a wealth management and advice fintech, appointed Jeff Hall to oversee its Asia Pacific business.

The head of Asia Pacific is a newly created role reporting directly to the firm's global chief executive Robert DeDominicis.

While running operations for the region, Hall will focus on growing the company's wealth management and advice solutions in Australia.

These products include Composer, WealthConnect and Advice Intelligence.

Joining the executive team, Hall brings a wealth of experience to GBST, having previously served as sales director for SS&C Technologies.

He has also held senior positions at Bravura Solutions and Midwinter Financial Services.

In 2019, Hall served as chief operating officer of Midwinter for over a year and a half.

Before that, he was chief executive for eight months.

While at Midwinter, Hall oversaw its sale to ASX-listed Bravura in August 2019.

He joined the financial planning software after seven years as a director of EY's wealth and asset management arm.

Hall has also worked at Macquarie Group, Van Eyk, and Accenture.

DeDominicis welcomed him to the team and said Hall's 25-year track record of driving rapid growth, optimising operations, and delivering client goals and success make him an invaluable addition to the leadership.

"Jeff has intimate knowledge of the Australian wealth management administration and advice solutions space and a clear commitment to client delivery and success."

Commenting on his appointment, Hall underlined the strategic fit between his skills and the company's vision.

"GBST has experienced continuous positive momentum over the past few years, and its innovative approach, expanding suite of products, and robust leadership team has only reinforced my confidence in this decision."
