Kurtosys is excited to announce the appointment of Neil Thornburn as Head of Customer Solutions and Strategy, effective September 2021. Neil is an experienced industry leader with a career spanning 22 years across digital and marketing.
Neil has extensive knowledge of digital strategy and transformation with particular focus on the Asset and Wealth management sector. Neil previously served as Head of EMEA digital at J.P. Morgan Asset Management and more recently supported Lombard Odier with their digital journey.
One of Neil’s focus points will be to help Kurtosys customers get maximum value from their investment in our platform, supporting critical integrations of process for sales, regulation and client services. He will also be supporting them with their longer-term digital strategies.
I am very excited to join the Kurtosys senior management team, not least because their team culture and belief in value is closely aligned to mine. With that value being top of my priority list, I will be seeking to build on the already strong partnerships with our customers to solve those difficult problems that can really help make a difference to their business, in turn adding real value to their internal teams and external clients.
Mash Patel, CEO of Kurtosys announced: “Neil joins Kurtosys at a time when the asset management industry is immersed in a transformational stage as it drives through multiple change initiatives. The move into the permanent operating model of responsible investing is closely linked with the need for end-to-end digitization. As Head of Customer Solutions and Strategy, Neil’s digital leadership and experience is bound to add great value to Kurtosys’ customers.”
Pat McKenna, Global Head of Sales and Product Management said: “The notion of content agility where speed of localized shared content in all formats, both document and web, is an immediate focus point. We want to help our customers imagine a better operating model for all their sales and client servicing activities which will help them capture material efficiencies. This can only be seen as a positive result for both asset managers and investors alike. Neil will be a huge support in helping our customers realize these gains”.
