Xceptor has appointed Sareena Dalla Brookshire as chief product officer to lead its global product organisation.
This is a newly created role and will be based in New York.
Brookshire will focus on advancing Xceptor’s AI-first product vision and the continued delivery of high-impact, client-led innovation across mission-critical capital markets workflows, says the firm.
She brings nearly two decades of capital markets experience, most recently serving as chief product officer at BNY Pershing, leading a large global product organisation to deliver measurable platform modernisation, product growth, and commercial outcomes.
Prior to this, she also held senior positions at Vanguard and BlackRock, where she played a key role in new product development and transforming digital user experiences.
Commenting on her appointment, Brookshire says: “I’ve seen first-hand the challenges capital markets firms face when modernising within a highly regulated environment, and data plays a critical role.
“Xceptor has built a powerful platform that enables operations teams to deliver trusted data across the trade lifecycle. I’m excited to work closely with our team and clients globally to lead the next phase of AI innovation.”
Michiel Verhoeven, CEO at Xceptor, adds: “Appointing our first CPO is a clear signal of where Xceptor is headed. Sareena’s extensive leadership experience in capital markets makes her a strong fit to help us drive this next phase of growth.
“With a long track record of building scalable, regulated platforms and improving user experiences at Tier 1 financial institutions, she is well placed to address the complex, mission-critical needs of our clients. I’m delighted to welcome Sareena to the Xceptor executive team.”
