Goal Group, the global fintech leader in withholding tax reclaims and securities class actions recoveries, has appointed Daron Pearce as brand ambassador for its Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
Pearce will help the sales team unlock the full market potential of Goal Group’s suite of services and further raise its profile in the region as a fast-growing fintech that matches technological sophistication with operational and service excellence.
Prospective clients include large asset managers, pension funds and custodian banks, Goal Group explains.
During his career, Pearce has gained a 30-year track record as a leader and innovator in securities services, most recently as CEO, asset servicing EMEA at BNY Mellon, where he held senior roles for two decades.
Earlier this year he founded the consultancy firm Daron Pearce Associates through which he will act as brand ambassador for Goal Group.
According to the group’s CEO Stephen Everard, Goal Group is entering an exciting phase of business growth as it reaps the rewards of its substantial investment in digital transformation and roll out the market’s most advanced solutions in both withholding tax reclaims and shareholder class actions recoveries.
Everard says: “Daron Pearce is one of the industry’s most well-respected figures, combining a deep knowledge of asset management and securities operations with an outstanding aptitude for building relationships at the highest level.”
Everard continues: “With his finger firmly on the pulse of our key markets, he is the perfect fit for our newly created brand ambassador role in EMEA”
Pearce states: “I am thrilled to be joining Goal Group to assist in identifying and realising growth opportunities across the EMEA region in support of their business growth ambitions.”
Pearce adds: “Reclaiming withholding tax on cross-border investment income, and participating in shareholder class and collective actions, have become much more important for institutional investors over the last few years.”
Goal Group recently created a similar brand ambassador role for its Asia Pacific region, appointing Bryan Gray, who previously served as managing director, Australia and New Zealand Sales at J.P. Morgan Securities Services.
