Prior to that, she served as the CFO of Everquest Financial, Strategic Value Partners, ESL Investments and Sentinel Advisors. “Smita’s deep operational and financial expertise will be a powerful addition to our Board. As a result of her tax experience at two of the Big 4 accounting firms and as a CFO for nearly 15 years at some of the most well-recognized investment management firms, Smita has a well cultivated global perspective,” said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. “SS&C has experienced phenomenal transformation – growing from nearly 1,500 employees at the beginning of 2012 to over 5,700 employees today, expanding internationally with major presences in in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, and making key acquisitions including GlobeOp, Advent Software and Citi Fund Services. Smita’s knowledge and expertise will be invaluable as we continue our global expansion.” “I’m honored to join the Board of Directors of one of the largest independent financial technology and services companies,” said Smita Conjeevaram. “Having served as a senior financial officer for several investment management firms, I understand the needs of and challenges facing SS&C’s customers.

The Board thanked Mr. Holt for his years of service and acknowledged his many meaningful contributions to SS&C. Mr. Holt commented: “I have enjoyed my 10 years on SS&C’s Board of Directors. Carlyle invested in SS&C in 2005, taking SS&C private in partnership with Bill Stone, SS&C’s founder and CEO. We later took SS&C public again in 2010 and have subsequently exited our ownership position in the Company, realizing a very attractive return for our investors. I wish SS&C well going forward and I am confident in their future.”
