Genesis Global has made several executive leadership appointments aimed at integrating product strategy, technological innovation, and client delivery. Tej Sidhu, previously the Chief Technology Officer, has been named President and Chief Product Officer. In this expanded role, Sidhu will oversee go-to-market functions and product strategy, continuing his tenure on the Executive Committee and reporting directly to the CEO. He brings significant industry experience to the position, having served as CTO and head of R&D at Calypso for 16 years prior to joining Genesis in 2022.

In addition to Sidhu’s appointment, two internal leaders have been promoted to the Executive Committee. Shahin Askari, who joined the firm in 2023, has been named Chief Platform and Architecture Officer. He is now responsible for strategy and technology investments regarding the Genesis Application Platform, specifically focusing on architecture and AI capabilities. Andrew Rendell, a member of the team since 2021 and formerly VP of Platform Engineering, has been promoted to Chief Engineering Officer. Rendell will lead application delivery, DevOps, and operational excellence.

These changes finalise the composition of the Genesis Executive Committee, which now includes CEO James Harrison, Sidhu, Askari, and Rendell, alongside Carrie Mathieson (VP, People) and Fergal Magee (VP, Financial Planning & Analysis). The restructured leadership team is designed to streamline how the firm builds and supports solutions for its capital markets clients.
