Position: Founder

Longtime Investment Trends research director Recep Peker has left the organisation after 11 years to launch a new venture.

Empower Business Advisory (EBA) will be "focused on helping organisations be the best in their field," said Peker in announcing the move. He said the creation of the advisory came after some reflection about where he wanted to go in the future. "To me, it was clear. My passion and expertise centres around helping financial services organisations become the best in their areas.

"At EBA, we will work closely with executives to establish a crystal clear perspective of their business in a competitive and challenging landscape, generate cutting edge insights and strategies to help keep firms ahead of the pack, and plot the course for successful and timely implementation of mission-critical projects."

In a statement announcing its new head of research Irene Guiamatisa, Investment Trends noted that Peker will continue to consult with the organisation.

Before his research career, Peker spent a few years as a financial adviser with Ark Total Wealth and was a research assistant at the University of Technology, Sydney.
