Position: Senior Executive for Strategic Partnerships

Digital wealth management solutions provider Quantifeed has opened its first office in Australia, which it has staffed with eight employees, including the firm's former Hong-Kong-based senior executive for strategic partnerships Graeme Brant.

With offices already in Hong Kong and Singapore, Quantifeed said the new Australian office will "strengthen its strategic relationships as demand for B2B digital advice solutions grows."

Brant added: "Following the findings from the Royal Commission, demand for digital advice solutions in Australia is set for rapid expansion. 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."

The technology development team will be headed by Lars Bischoff, who has led software development teams at major Australian financial institutions for over three decades and has been a senior member of the Quantifeed engineering team for the past four years, the firm said.

Bischoff said: "Australia has a deep pool of tech engineering talent which brings both experience and innovation to our development team. Recent additions to our team will provide seamless connectivity to our clients' existing systems and to develop functionality that differentiates Quantifeed."
