Behan will oversee and drive all commercial functions of the company’s operations, and join the executive leadership team.
He brings nearly 30 years of senior leadership experience across fund administration, global custody, and investment operations technology.
He has held commercial leadership roles at Finbourne Technology, Ocorian, Virtus Partners, Deutsche Bank and BNY, where he led global go-to-market teams.
Lior Yogev, co-founder and CEO of FundGuard, says: “As the only fully cloud native investment accounting platform that brings public and private assets together on a single core, we’ve spent the last several years refining our software with forward-thinking institutions already live in production across middle and back office use cases.”
“That effort has delivered a mature, proven product, and Simon now joins us to drive our commercial growth phase with the same discipline that shaped the platform.”
Commenting on his appointment, Simon Behan says: “FundGuard is now at a moment where the foundation is in place and the opportunity to scale is clear.
“I’ve spent my career helping firms scale in complex global environments, and FundGuard has built something fundamentally different.”
He continues: “The platform’s architecture is modern, innovative, proven and ready to support how the industry is actually evolving.
“This is the moment to take that to market at scale.”
Yogev adds: “We have a responsibility to the ecosystem we serve. Our role is to provide the foundation for the next generation of investment operations.
“Simon’s appointment signals this commitment and our focus on sustainable, long-term growth.”
