Equisoft Expands VP Simon Richardson’s Role to Drive Growth Across UK and Europe

BATH, United Kingdom, April 23rd, 2025 – Equisoft, a leading global provider of digital solutions for the insurance and wealth industries, has broadened Simon Richardson’s mandate as Vice President, MEA & APAC, to now include leadership of sales and account management in the UK and Europe. The strategic organizational restructure aims to accelerate regional growth and build on the momentum of Equisoft’s UK industry-leading solutions, such as Pension Fusion, along with the extensive insurance and wealth management offerings that have enjoyed global success. With over 40 clients already committed to Pension Fusion and over 150 clients in the UK, Equisoft is focusing upon opportunities to expand its footprint in the region.

“We expect strong growth in the next two years from Pension Fusion, as well as continued momentum across our broader offering,” said Luis Romero, CEO of Equisoft. “Simon’s leadership has been instrumental in driving success across MEA and APAC, and we’re confident he will bring the same impact to our UK sales and account management initiatives. By expanding our presence in the region and introducing more of our global capabilities, we’re positioned to support financial institutions in delivering more efficient operations and stronger customer outcomes."

Simon, who joined Equisoft in 2014, brings more than two decades of experience in IT and operational delivery in the insurance and wealth management sectors. Based in Equisoft’s Bath office, he will work closely with the local UK team whilst continuing to oversee sales and delivery in other core markets across the MEA and APAC region, working with his teams in South Africa and Australia.

“I’m excited to take on this expanded role and work more closely with our UK and European clients,” said Simon Richardson. “There’s strong demand in the market for solutions to deliver both regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. With Pension Fusion and the rest of our global product suite, we’re well-positioned to support financial institutions across the region for their digital, policy administration and data management needs.”

This expansion strengthens Equisoft’s ability to align its global expertise with regional opportunities, helping more clients modernize and streamline operations through an array of technology solutions.
