OAKS, PA — SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) has expanded the responsibilities of Sanjay Sharma, appointing him CEO of SEI International as the company sharpens its focus on growth outside North America. Sharma, who also leads SEI’s global Private Banking business, will now oversee strategy and execution across all non-U.S. markets.
With more than 25 years of experience spanning four continents and 11 countries, Sharma brings both global perspective and operational expertise to the role. His mandate includes developing integrated business and workforce strategies, strengthening cultural alignment across geographies, and ensuring that international expansion delivers consistent returns on capital.
“Over 30 years, we have demonstrated our commitment to our international markets—investing in our operational footprint, services, and solutions—and a key component of driving future growth globally is expanding our addressable market outside of North America,” said SEI CEO Ryan Hicke. “We believe having an Executive Committee member on the ground, leading our international business strategy, clearly demonstrates our conviction in global expansion opportunities, ensures strategic alignment across teams, and accelerates our growth.”
Hicke emphasized that SEI is pursuing growth with a unified approach, aligning its go-to-market and workforce strategies. “As we focus on our growth opportunities, Sanjay is uniquely positioned to lead our efforts with his global experience, deep knowledge of the financial services industry, and change management expertise,” he said.
Sharma highlighted the company’s client-first philosophy as central to his expanded role. “We’re committed to delivering best-in-class service and solutions, and this next phase of SEI’s evolution as a global leader continues to reinforce our client-centric approach that is at the heart of everything we do,” Sharma said. He added that SEI’s international expansion will enhance its service offerings without disrupting the client experience, while building resilience and regional expertise.
Before joining SEI, Sharma held senior delivery roles in Europe with an IT and financial services consulting firm and ran his own consulting business. At SEI, he previously served as chief technology officer, overseeing platform and application strategy, execution, and delivery.
The appointment marks another step in SEI’s broader transformation, as the firm looks to capture more opportunities in international markets while reinforcing its reputation as a global player in financial services.
