Genesis Global has appointed co-founder James Harrison as CEO, succeeding Stephen Murphy, who steps down after ten years leading the firm. Genesis delivers software and solutions for financial markets on its AI-native application development platform, helping institutions modernise legacy systems, reduce vendor dependencies and replace end-user computing with compliant applications.
In the past year the company has seen rising demand tied to T+1 compliance in Europe and efforts to cut risks from spreadsheets and other manual processes. Clients can extend and customise solutions or “buy to build” on a component-driven platform that includes guardrails for compliant AI use. Applications embed controls governing interactions with digital assistants and AI agents for workflow and data processing. Clients include Bank of America, BNY, Citi, ING, Marex, Neptune Networks, Octaura and StoneX.
Harrison previously held senior technology roles at Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, HSBC and Fidessa. He has worked in London, São Paulo and Hong Kong and is now based in New York.
