Tria Investment Partner names new head
Andrew Baker, the founder of wealth and asset management consultancy Tria Investment Partners, has stepped away from his executive role at the group with Oliver Hesketh, currently a principal consultant with Tria, set to take on the role of managing partner from the end of this month.
Baker founded Tria in March 2004 and has been its managing partner since that time and was part of the group's move into specialist investment and insurance consultancy NMG Consulting in 2013. He will continue in his role as a non-executive director of NMG Consulting and its parent company, NMG Holdings.
Hesketh was recently promoted to partner at NMG Consulting after having joined Tria in 2007 as a consultant and has been involved in the running of the business for the past 18 months, including the integration between Tria and NMG.
Hesketh will be supported in his new role by Mark Watmore who has been with Tria since 2004. Watmore currently leads the implementation focus team and his role has been expanded to identify cross-collaboration opportunities between the NMG Consulting business lines in Australia.
Baker said the transition of leadership was an important milestone but also "another logical step in Tria's progression and our aspiration to build the best consulting firm in the wealth, asset management and insurance industries".
"We've been able to hire outstanding people over the firm's history and retain the great majority of them for the long term; their time to lead has arrived."
