Broadridge Financial Solutions appointed Todd Diganci to its Board of Directors effective August 1, 2026, adding deep securities regulatory expertise as the fintech infrastructure company accelerates its transformation of global capital markets. Diganci, who recently concluded 31 years at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), will serve on Broadridge's Audit Committee. The appointment expands the board to 10 members, eight of whom are independent, a move that underscores Broadridge's focus on strengthened governance amid rapid market evolution.
Diganci is joining at a critical juncture for Broadridge, which is racing to lead industry shifts toward tokenized assets, artificial intelligence-powered trading systems, and post-trade infrastructure modernization. Eileen Murray, Broadridge's Board Chair, praised the appointment, noting that his "expertise in the securities industry" will ensure the company "remains at the forefront of innovation" as financial services transform. The search firm involvement in the recruitment was not disclosed in the company announcement. Diganci himself signaled alignment with Broadridge's strategic agenda, stating he looks forward to contributing to "the company's next chapter of strategic expansion and long-term value creation."
Diganci brings unparalleled perspective on regulatory operating models at the highest institutional level. From 2017 through June 2026, he served as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer of FINRA, where he steered enterprise finances, human resources, and the credentialing, registration, education and disclosure (CRED) operations of the self-regulatory organization anchoring U.S. securities markets. Before 2017, he progressed through increasingly senior finance roles at FINRA, working as Corporate Controller and then Chief Financial Officer. During a period of significant regulatory and market transformation, he expanded FINRA's CFO mandate to encompass enterprise risk management and corporate strategic leadership. Diganci holds a bachelor's degree and an MBA from Drake University, and completed Harvard University's Advanced Management Program. He previously held positions at Marriott and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the SIFMA Investor Education Foundation, reflecting a long commitment to financial literacy and investor protection.
Broadridge Financial Solutions, valued at $17 billion by market capitalization, operates as a global fintech leader providing back-end infrastructure, technology, and operational support that power daily trading of over $15 trillion in securities and process more than 7 billion communications annually. The company's three strategic pillars include democratizing and digitizing governance through investor communication platforms, simplifying and innovating capital markets through trading and post-trade solutions, and modernizing wealth management. In fiscal 2026, Broadridge is executing on ambitious growth targets, projecting recurring revenue growth at or above 7 percent and adjusted EPS growth of 10 to 12 percent. The company is particularly focused on leading industry adoption of tokenization for equities and real assets, scaling AI-native platforms, and positioning clients for convergence of traditional and digital asset ecosystems.
Diganci's appointment reflects an industry-wide recognition that regulatory expertise has become as strategically valuable to fintech platforms as engineering talent or product innovation. As Broadridge navigates increasingly complex regulatory expectations around market structure, digital assets, and investor protection, having a board member with 30 years of regulatory institution-building experience signals management's readiness for heightened scrutiny. This suggests that Broadridge may be anticipating material regulatory developments affecting market infrastructure, tokenization frameworks, or post-trade processes in the coming years. The timing of the appointment, paired with Frank Troise's appointment as President of Global Capital Markets in February 2026, suggests Broadridge is consolidating leadership across regulatory knowledge, capital markets execution, and strategic modernization to ensure the company can both shape and comply with evolving industry standards.
