SimCorp, a fintech firm owned by Deutsche Börse AG, has appointed Peter Sanderson as chief executive officer.
Sanderson most recently served as Group CEO of GAM Investments from 2019 to 2024. There, he gained firsthand insights into SimCorp’s software as a direct client, deepening his appreciation for the platform’s strategic value.
Before that, he spent over a decade at BlackRock Investment Management as managing director of multi-asset investment solutions, financial markets advisory, and as a member of the European executive committee.
“I am very excited to join SimCorp at this crucial juncture in the company’s growth,” said Sanderson. “During periods of unprecedented market turbulence, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients adapt and grow while they continue to evolve their business. I am also impressed by the unique, values-based culture that SimCorp has established and look forward to working with this world-class team on achieving our growth ambitions.”

With Peter’s experience, deep knowledge of our industry and track record for growth, we know that he is the right next leader for SimCorp.”
