In her new role, Smith has been tasked with “scaling and streamlining” the division, concentrating on “implementation processes and programme management” with a focus on “ensuring a thriving country and regional level organisational structure”.
Combined with a cohesive approach to satisfying client needs through broader, segment-specific solutions, Smith will also help to ensure best practices across functions, business units and geographies, applicable to the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions specifically.
Moreover, Mike Sleightholme, president of Broadridge International, says Smith will “help expand our client relationships and footprint across financial markets while advancing the customer experience and optimising our operational efficiency throughout all areas of our international business”.
Describing the new COO as “an established leader”, Sleightholme says Smith brings a “deep understanding of financial services and extensive programme management capabilities” to Broadridge International as it enters “its next stage of expansion”.
Prior to joining Broadridge, Smith spent 18 years in various leadership roles at HSBC, where she began her career as a global banking associate, before rising through the ranks to conclude her tenure as head of strategy and change management for the non-financial risk unit of the bank’s markets and securities services business.
Headquartered in New York, Broadridge claims to support the daily trading of over $10 trillion in equities, fixed income, and other securities worldwide. The company says it generates more than $6 billion in revenue and employs over 14,700 people across 21 countries.
