AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (“AtlasClear Holdings”) (NYSE: ATCH)
is excited to announce the hiring of Jeff Sime as the new Chief
Executive Officer of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wilson-Davis
& Co., Inc. (“Wilson-Davis”), effective December 16, 2024. This
significant hiring highlights AtlasClear Holdings’ commitment to
identifying and acquiring experienced leadership as they work
towards the goal of revolutionizing the financial sector for the
small institution space.
Mr. Sime brings expertise in capital markets, with a strong
focus on correspondent clearing space. His appointment marks a
crucial moment as AtlasClear Holdings continues to advance the
innovative clearing and settlement platform with a focus on the
future.
Mr. Sime expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment: “I am
thrilled to join AtlasClear Holdings to lead Wilson-Davis and work
alongside a team that is focused on providing solutions that are
forward thinking in the evolving global financial marketplace.
AtlasClear Holdings’ dedication to building the future of clearing
and settlement of traditional and digital assets is in perfect
harmony with my aspirations for the future of finance.”
Before joining AtlasClear Holdings to lead Wilson-Davis, Mr.
Sime led Embed Clearing and was successful in helping facilitate
the approximately $236 million sale of the company in 2022. This
was quite an achievement given Embed had been operating for a
little over a year, its footprint was small and was just beginning
to add to its client base. Mr. Sime indicated that he sees a
potentially larger, long-term opportunity with AtlasClear Holdings
and Wilson-Davis given its footprint and 56-year history. “I
believe we have a unique platform and licensing set with
Wilson-Davis that may allow us to provide institutional clearing
solutions to an underserved segment of the market which is the
small financial institution space. The larger providers in the
market have continued to turn away from directly servicing this
segment of the market, leaving smaller broker-dealers limited
options to manage their clients’ portfolios. We believe we can be
the solution,” said Mr. Sime.
Prior to his position with Embed, Mr. Sime has enjoyed a
successful career spanning almost three decades in the financial
industry. Prior to Embed, Mr. Sime was the President of COR
Clearing and was an integral part of its being purchased by Axos
Financial in 2018.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jeff to the team to lead
Wilson-Davis into the future. Our goal at AtlasClear Holdings is to
build a highly efficient, technology forward Clearing and
Settlement solution for our clients. We believe Jeff’s experienced
leadership going forward will be instrumental in helping to capture
the opportunity in front of us and enhance shareholder value
long-term. His track record speaks for itself,” said Craig
Ridenhour, President, AtlasClear Holdings.
