Proxymity’s CEO, Dean Little, takes the stage as he presents his exclusive Sibos insights

Proxy voting should be straightforward. But anyone who’s touched the process knows it can feel more like trying to solve a complicated Rubik’s Cube. Twist one piece into place, and suddenly three others are out of alignment. Messages get stuck, data formats clash, and votes sometimes don’t reflect what investors intend.  

The core issue? Everyone is working with pieces of the puzzle that weren’t designed to fit together.  

This discussion will dive into that issue. On December 2^nd (14:30 GMT | 09:30 EST),  Dean Little, Proxymity’s Co-Founder and CEO, will break down how the proxy voting ecosystem is shifting, and why interoperability is the turning point that can finally solve the Rubik’s Cube.   

The industry has been putting up with fragmentation and slow communication for far too long,” says Dean. “Interoperability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s about connecting issuers, intermediaries, and investors in real time, so the process works the way it should. The institutions that prepare today will shape what governance looks like tomorrow.” 

Why interoperability matters

Proxy voting only works when every participant can communicate clearly and quickly. Today, that’s not always the case. 

• Data moves in batches 

• Updates arrive late  

• Visibility breaks down across borders and intermediaries  

Interoperability solves these gaps. It allows everyone to operate with shared certainty and full transparency. And, with regulatory expectations evolving towards 2026, timing matters. 

Why attend? 

During the webinar, you’ll discover: 

• What’s currently slowing modernisation across key markets like Europe and Australia  

• How interoperability is already delivering better outcomes  

• Real examples of institutions preparing for the next phase of governance  

This webinar isn’t about theory; it’s a practical look into what needs to change and what’s already working.
