Microgen Financial Services and Touchstone Wealth Management have named David Thorpe as a non-executive director of the combined group.
Thorpe has worked in a number of high-profile positions across organisations, including president of EDS Europe and chairman of Ocorian.
Thorpe said: “I’m delighted to join the merged group of Microgen and Touchstone at a very exciting time for the industry. I can see the team are extremely well placed to address the rapidly changing needs of corporate services, trust and alternative fund administration by offering the most innovative best-in-class technology in the market.”
In November last year, Microgen and Touchstone announced the merger of the two companies. The merger completed in February.
As part of the merger, Keith Hale joined as executive chairman to run the combined group.
In his role, Hale works with both management teams on the combined strategy, oversees integration and helps to drive business development.
Commenting on Thorpe’s appointment, Hale said: “David Thorpe brings to the board a rare blend of experience in both technology businesses as well as our core target market of corporate services, trust and fund administration.”
