Eton Solutions, a provider of technology solutions for the wealth management industry, announced the appointment of Sandip Shah as Chief Business Officer (CBO).
With more than 15 years of experience in financial services, regulation, and international market development, Shah joins the firm to scale its India and GIFT City strategy and expand adoption of EtonAxis, its newly launched end-to-end platform for fund managers, family offices and private equity firms.
In his new role, Shah will lead business development, drive international market expansion, and build strategic partnerships that advance Eton Solutions’ mission of transforming global wealth and fund-management operations.
As Chief Business Officer of AtlasFive IFSC, Eton Solutions’ GIFT City entity, he will report to Bryan Henning, President, for sales & business development responsibilities, and to Nimish Soni, Chief Operating Officer & Managing Director – India, for operations responsibilities.
Shah’s immediate priority will be to accelerate the onboarding of all GIFT City fund managers, including family offices, PE/VC funds, fund administrators, and global institutions, onto EtonAxis, which integrates AtlasFive, EtonAITM, and specialized modules designed for private equity and fund management operations. Built to streamline deal lifecycles, investor onboarding, treasury management, reporting, reconciliations, and audit-ready workflows, EtonAxis delivers a unique integrated, AI-powered operating platform.
Shah previously served as Head of the IFSC Department at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), where he played a central role in shaping India’s international financial services framework. His contributions spanned coordination with the IFSC Authority, the Ministry of Finance, the RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI, as well as the introduction of new business verticals, including aircraft leasing, the International Bullion Exchange, offshore fund management, and the International Fintech Institute (in partnership with the Asian Development Bank).
His earlier roles include HSBC Securities Market Division and National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), where he helped operationalize India’s first Insurance Repository.
