Tyler Derr has been appointed as chief technology officer.

In this role, he will serve as the senior-most technology officer in Broadridge's delivery of world-class SaaS and other service offerings to leading financial services clients.

He will oversee Broadridge's global technology teams, including enterprise-wide software engineering, product delivery, architecture, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and technology operations.

"Tyler has been instrumental in taking our technology capability to the next level as we scale to become the leading global fintech serving Governance, Capital Markets, and Wealth and Investment Management," Broadridge CEO Tim Gokey says.

"Tyler's vision and proven ability to build high performing teams will be invaluable as we continue to evolve Broadridge to the next phase of technology leadership and growth for clients, shareholders, and associates."

"It's an exciting time to become the next CTO of Broadridge," Derr says.

"We are executing our vision of becoming the leading technology partner for our clients by delivering innovative solutions based on a modern componentised architecture that continues to continuously grow our interoperability and scalability.

"That evolution is allowing us to drive ever increasing value to clients while building great careers for the most talented technology associates in the industry."

Derr will report directly to CEO Tim Gokey in his new role and has been with Broadridge for 10 years as CTO and later chief administrative officer for Broadridge's Global Technology and Operations business. Most recently, he has focused on Broadridge's industry-leading Wealth Initiative.

Derr succeeds John Hogan, who served in this role since 2014 and requested to transition to a new leadership role earlier this year.

Hogan will advise Gokey and Derr in his new role and continue his firmwide roles in risk and capital, and oversee Broadridge's India Operations, reporting to Gokey.a
