Keith Haberlin

Global financial technology company SimCorp, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group, has appointed Keith Haberlin as its global head of business services for sales.

Based in Boston, Haberlin brings over 30 years of experience in delivering financial, technology and data solutions to asset managers and financial institutions.

Most recently serving as co-head of infomediary data solutions at Brown Brothers Harriman, he will now drive the growth of SimCorp business services, which leverages the company’s technology to provide outsourced investment operations, data management and investment accounting services to asset managers and financial institutions.

Haberlin’s extensive expertise in advising and designing target operating models for asset managers and owners will strengthen the company’s ability to deliver transformative, technology-driven services that streamline client operations.

When buy-side firms partner with external service providers for outsourcing and managed services, they aim, the company points out, to achieve two primary outcomes – focus on core business activities and cost reduction. These are identified as the top priorities by 57% of firms, according to the 2025 Global InvestOps Report, which surveyed 200 buy-side operations leaders worldwide in Q4 2024.

The hiring of Haberlin follows that of Ulrik Modigh as managing director, head of SimCorp business services, as the company continues to invest in operational and servicing expertise to complement its strength in technology.

“Haberlin brings a wealth of industry knowledge to our business services team," adds Oliver Johnson, SimCorp’s chief revenue officer. “His oversight of multiple, end-to-end business lines, will be invaluable as we double down on business services going beyond the provision of technology to providing the option of managing operational processes.”
