I have joined Softlab360 as fractional head of strategic partnerships, working alongside my role leading Spencer Business Strategies. Softlab360 announced the news together with two other milestones, and I want to share all three here.
Who Softlab360 is
Softlab360, formerly Starpoint Solutions, is a New York software development and engineering partner for wealth management, fintech and financial services firms. It has built production software since 2000. Its work centers on connecting fragmented systems, unifying data, modernizing legacy platforms and applying AI inside existing environments. For a wealth firm, that can mean linking custodians, portfolio management tools, CRMs and trading platforms, and modernizing step by step instead of replacing everything at once.
What I will be doing
My focus is on WealthTech consultancies, enterprise wealth firms and RIAs, and on introducing Softlab360 to the enterprise firms and platforms that can put it to work. I bring more than 20 years in fintech and B2B software, including leadership at Moneytree Software.
The role fits how I already work. Our process ends with taking the story to the right buyers, and that depends on introductions made for a real reason. Softlab360’s founder and CEO, Henry Zelikovsky, wants engineering in the room early, while firms are still deciding what to connect, modernize, build or buy. In the announcement I said, “Softlab360 is the kind of partner these firms need.”
Joining The Wealth Mosaic
Softlab360 has joined The Wealth Mosaic, the global network that connects wealth managers with technology and solution providers. Zelikovsky will speak on the panel “Buy, Build, Rent: Where’s the Industry in 2026?” at The Wealth Mosaic Live 2026: US, on Monday, November 2, at Nasdaq MarketSite in New York. He will be joined by Michael Wood of Domify and Victor Nieves of FIS, with Hilda Wong-Doo of Greenline Consultants moderating. The event expects about 250 executive delegates and more than 40 speakers across 15 sessions.
A Luminaries finalist
ThinkAdvisor named Softlab360 a finalist in the Investment Management – Product or Service Innovation category of its 2026 Luminaries Awards. The nomination recognizes the Snowflake-based data engine and infrastructure it built for Blue Vault’s Alternative Investment Research Portal, which launched in February 2026. The portal serves advisors, sponsors, WealthTech platforms and enterprise data distributors, across alternatives such as nontraded REITs and BDCs, interval funds, tender offer funds and Delaware Statutory Trusts. Blue Vault is also a finalist. Winners will be announced on December 3, 2026, at the New York Hilton Midtown.
What this means for the firms we serve
If you are weighing whether to build, buy or rent technology, or you need an engineering partner who understands wealth management, I am glad to make an introduction. If your challenge is the story rather than the stack, that remains the work of SBS.
I serve as Softlab360’s fractional head of strategic partnerships, and SBS collaborates with The Wealth Mosaic. Details come from Softlab360’s October 2026 press release.
