Richardson, who currently serves as VP, EMEA & APAC, will now also lead regional sales and account management efforts as part of a strategic organizational restructure.
The move underscores Equisoft’s commitment to accelerating its presence in the UK and European markets, leveraging the growing success of solutions like Pension Fusion, which already boasts over 40 committed clients. In total, Equisoft serves more than 150 clients across the UK and aims to build on this momentum by broadening its footprint in the region.
“We expect strong growth in the next two years from Pension Fusion, as well as continued momentum across our broader offering,” said Luis Romero, CEO of Equisoft. “Simon’s leadership has been instrumental in driving success in other regions, and we’re confident he will bring the same impact to our UK sales and account management initiatives.”
Richardson, who joined Equisoft in 2014, brings over 20 years of experience in IT and operational delivery within the insurance and wealth sectors. Based in Equisoft’s Bath office, he will work closely with the local team to oversee sales and service delivery across core European markets.
“I’m excited to take on this expanded role and work more closely with our UK and European clients,” Richardson said. “There’s strong demand in the market for solutions that deliver regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. With Pension Fusion and our global suite of products, we’re well-positioned to support financial institutions’ evolving needs.”
The leadership expansion is part of Equisoft’s broader strategy to align global capabilities with regional opportunities, helping financial institutions modernize and streamline operations through advanced digital platforms and data-driven solutions.
