According to SBS, Unger brings a “unique background spanning the intersection of banking and software operations” to his new role.
Over the last two decades, he has held senior positions at banks and financial services firms including Merrill Lynch, UBS Investment Bank and Falcon Private Bank, as well as with technology firms such as Switzerland-based core banking software provider Avaloq.
As COO of SBS, Unger has been tasked with leading the company’s delivery of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products to banks and financial organisations, as well as helping to plot its global expansion plans. He will work alongside SBS CEO Eric Bierry, overseeing all business functions and focusing on increasing internal efficiencies.
SBS says Unger’s appointment forms part of a wider plan to expand its C-suite, following the hiring of of Raouf Mhenni as chief commercial officer last month.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Paris, SBS offers a cloud-based platform for clients to digitise operations across banking, lending, compliance, payments, consumer and asset finance. It claims to have partnered with more than 1,500 financial institutions and lenders across 80 countries.
