Arch Names Keith Soura Chief Technology Officer to Advance AI-powered Platform for Private Markets
Technology leader to spearhead engineering and product development as Arch evolves from automating private markets workflows to anticipating what allocators need next
Arch, an AI-powered platform for managing, monitoring, and unlocking insights on private markets portfolios, today announced the appointment of Keith Soura as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In this role, Soura will oversee the technical vision and end-to-end development of Arch's platform, spanning architecture, engineering, and product delivery for a client base of banks, investment advisors, accounting firms, family offices, and institutional allocators.
As private markets make up a larger share of portfolios, the cost and oversight required to manage them has grown too, driven by manual processes, fragmented portals, and technology that hasn’t kept pace. The result is outdated and labor-intensive workflows, with a single private equity fund requiring over 5,500 clicks across its 10-year lifespan. This disconnect makes it imperative that technology evolves in tandem. Soura will build on Arch's standing as the private markets platform of choice, driving automation across additional private markets workflows, while surfacing the trends, performance drivers, and insights allocators need. With a goal of driving down the cost of managing alternative investments and powering better decisions, Soura will also help Arch put novel and secure AI tools in the hands of customers, who are clamoring for advantages as they navigate private markets.
