We’re pleased to announce 19 internal promotions across our Technology and Operations teams.
These promotions recognise the impact our people are having — committing to serving our clients, challenging the status quo, and working collectively to change the paradigm of private markets investing.
They also reflect our commitment not only to growing our business, but to being a place where people can build and advance their careers as we continue to scale around the globe.
Colin Clunie, COO says:
“The demand for our private funds clearinghouse solution is accelerating, and promoting talent from within means our leaders already understand our clients, their investors, and where our technology and services can best support them. It’s one of our biggest strengths — and it’s how we build long – term capability and private markets expertise alongside our market-leading technology.”
Scalable tech + expert human support
Close collaboration between client service and technology lies at the heart of the value we deliver. By building our technology in-house alongside the people using it and supporting our clients, we ensure solutions are practical, scalable, and future-focused.
Jason Green, Chief Technology Officer, says:
“Building our technology in-house keeps us close to the problem and our clients. Seeing our people grow into these leadership roles, and work together across operations and tech, is a huge part of why we can deliver smarter, faster solutions. As we deliver on our ambitious roadmap in 2026, having this team in place is critical to meeting the needs of fund managers and investors at scale.”
A great place to build a career
These promotions highlight the success and growth of our people and underscore our focus on being a place where individuals can progress their careers, make an impact, and benefit from the opportunities that come with being part of a scaling business.
Colin adds:
“I want to extend my congratulations to everyone promoted — these are well-deserved achievements. Seeing the next generation of leaders grow within the business is inspiring. It creates continuity for our clients, momentum for our teams, and shows why Sonata One is a place where our talented people can have rewarding and successful careers.”
