Ocorian has hired Michael Gull as Head of Funds in the U.S. as part of the firm’s expansion strategy.
Gull, who will work at Ocorian’s New York office, brings nearly 30 years of leadership experience from companies in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, according to the statement.
“The U.S. is a key market for Ocorian, and Michael’s appointment underscores our commitment to increasing our presence in the U.S. financial services markets. His expertise will be crucial in continuing to expand our services, which include fund administration, corporate services, capital markets, and private client services,” commented Frank Hattann, CCO of Ocorian.
Most recently, Gull worked at Carta in New York, where he served as Head of Sales Management and Business Development, and previously, he was Managing Director of Sales Management and Business Development at SS&C Technologies.
“This is an exciting time to join Ocorian in the U.S. I look forward to working with our expanding team to further develop our presence in the fund administration sector and deliver greater value to our clients through our unique combination of local expertise and global capabilities,” added Gull.
Ocorian first entered the U.S. market in 2021 with the acquisition of Philadelphia-based Emphasys Technologies, marking the start of its expansion across the country. Since then, the company has been enhancing its onshore capabilities, making key hires, and building out its service offering to support its growing client base, according to company information.
