Quantifeed opens Australian office
Digital advice solution provider, Quantifeed, has opened its first Australian office in Sydney to meet growing demand for digital wealth advice, and has tapped local talent to join the team.
Current Quantifeed engineer, Lars Bischoff, who led software development teams at major Australian financial institutions for over three decades, would head the technology development team in Australia.
Graeme Brant would leverage his 30-year career in financial services to head Quantifeed’s development of strategic partnerships in Australia.
Bischoff said Australia had a deep pool of tech engineering talent, and the recent additions to the team would provide seamless connectivity to Quantifeed’s clients’ existing systems.
“Following the findings from the Royal Commission, demand for digital advice solutions in Australia is set for rapid expansion,” added Brant. “In the coming years, we see a great opportunity for financial institutions to deploy digital wealth solutions in response to growing customer expectations for transparent and reasonably priced wealth management.”
