SimCorp names industry veteran Keith Haberlin to key Global Business Services role

New York, – 6 February, 2025 – SimCorp, a leading global financial technology company, announces the appointment of Keith Haberlin as Global Head of Business Services, Sales, effective immediately.

Based in Boston, Haberlin brings over 30 years of experience in delivering financial, technology and data solutions to asset managers and financial institutions. Most recently serving as Co-Head of Infomediary Data Solutions at Brown Brothers Harriman, he will now drive the growth of SimCorp Business Services, which leverages SimCorp’s leading edge technology to provide outsourced Investment Operations, Data Management, and Investment Accounting services to asset managers and financial institutions.

Haberlin’s extensive expertise in advising and designing target operating models for asset managers and asset owners will strengthen SimCorp's ability to deliver transformative, technology-driven services that streamline client operations.

“We are thrilled to welcome Keith to SimCorp. He brings a wealth of industry knowledge to our Business Services team," said Oliver Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer at SimCorp. “Keith’s oversight of multiple, end-to-end business lines, will be invaluable as we double down on Business Services going beyond the provision of technology to providing the option of managing their operational processes as well, further empowering our clients to remove complexity from their operations.”

When buy-side firms partner with external service providers for outsourcing and managed services, they aim to achieve two primary outcomes: focus on core business activities and cost reduction. According to the 2025 Global InvestOps Report, 57 percent of firms identify these as their top priorities. The findings come from a survey of 200 buy-side operations leaders worldwide in Q4 2024.

“I’m excited to join SimCorp and help accelerate a unique proposition for the buy-side to truly transform their operating model,” said Haberlin. “By processing their operations on a single multi-asset class platform that we share with them, our clients avoid the friction and inefficiencies associated with multiple data exchanges with their provider that need to be integrated, validated and reconciled. This key difference allows for a step change in the speed, accuracy and transparency of key data such as the Investment Book of Record (IBOR)  that they need to run their business.” 

Haberlin’s announcement follows the recent hire of Ulrik Modigh as Managing Director, Head of SimCorp Business Services, as the company continues to invest in operational and servicing expertise to complement its strength in technology.
