The group, which serves sectors including family offices, private banks and wealth advisors, has made a number of senior appointments in the US and abroad.

SEI, a US-listed provider of financial technology, operations, and asset management services within the financial services industry, has made a series of senior hires.

This week, the Pennsylvania-headquartered group named Sneha Shah as chief AI strategist, Michael Tryniszewski as head of AI orchestration, and William Coffey as chief data officer. They are all based in the US, according to their public profiles.

Yesterday, SEI said it had also appointed Barry Frame as head of international banking and wealth management services. This is a newly formed role. Frame (pictured below) has worked at businesses including Avaloq. His LinkedIn profile states he is based in the London area.
