The CEO, who had led the firm through a merger, stepped down last autumn – a new, permanent chief executive has been named.

TrustQuay Viewpoint, a software-as-a-service firm focused on the trust and corporate services market with more than 600 clients globally, has appointed a permanent new CEO, Guy Harrison. He is filling the vacancy created last October when Keith Hale (pictured below) left the role. Heath Davies, who has been acting as interim CEO, is now chairman of the board.

Harrison’s previous roles include: CEO at SmartSearch, general manager at Dow Jones Risk and Compliance, managing director at IHS Markit, and strategic leadership positions at Goldman Sachs. 

In Hale’s case, he had led the creation of TrustQuay via the merger of Microgen Financial Systems and Touchstone Wealth Management in 2019.

Last year, TrustQuay and Viewpoint merged. The deal was completed here.
