Cambridge Investment Research has appointed Sean Van Moorleghem, a former Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade executive, as its new chief technology officer.

Van Moorleghem will lead Cambridge’s technology initiatives and innovation as it supports its national network of 3,800 advisors. He will also join Cambridge’s executive council, where he will work with leadership to support firmwide strategic goals.

“Sean is an experienced technologist with an impressive track record of leading successful digital transformations at some of the largest companies in our industry,” Colleen Bell, president of innovation and experience, said in a statement.

“Sean's experience leading technology, digital transformation, and AI personalization will be invaluable,” Bell added.

In nearly 15 years at Schwab and TD Ameritrade, Van Moorleghem led software engineering departments and played an important role in advancing platform modernization and implementing artificial intelligence-driven automation.

His technology leadership experience also includes positions at West Corporation, First Data Corporation and Deloitte.
