Mike Sleightholme has been appointed as president of its asset management solutions business.

Sleightholme will drive Broadridge's global asset management business growth, the strategic execution of client and market-focused solutions, and world-class service delivery.

"Mike brings to Broadridge extensive experience in driving business transformation and growth through innovation and a client-centric approach," Broadridge global technology and operations president Tom Carey says.

"He's a strong addition to our leadership team and his work will help us further develop the solutions that have enabled our clients to maximise transparency and automation in the investment management and private lending process."

"Broadridge's investments in emerging technologies like blockchain and AI, and its focus on digitising operations for investment management clients were key reasons I was drawn to the role," Sleightholme says.

"I look forward to working with clients to help them achieve their goals, and to facilitating the next phase of Broadridge's business growth."

Brian Crowley, who served as Interim president of Broadridge asset management solutions, steps into a new role as chief operating officer of the asset management business, reporting to Sleightholme.

In this critical new role, Crowley will be responsible for the successful execution of the business's day-to-day administrative and operational functions.
