Experience and perspective

I have worked in financial advice since 2005 across advice delivery, operations, technology, and leadership roles. My focus has consistently been on how advice is designed, delivered, and supported, and how those choices affect the outcomes clients ultimately experience.

I began my career as a financial adviser during the Global Financial Crisis, which shaped my understanding of the responsibility that comes with providing financial advice when circumstances feel uncertain. Over time, my work expanded into senior operational and leadership roles across both small practices and large organisations, spanning technology, advice delivery, and innovation.

Alongside this, I previously led consulting work with financial advice firms, helping redesign advice processes, systems, and client experience. That perspective now directly informs how Lume Wealth is designed, governed, and operated.

Role at Lume Wealth

At Lume Wealth, I am responsible for the systems and infrastructure that support how advice is prepared, reviewed, implemented, and maintained over time. This includes the processes, controls, and oversight that sit behind advice conversations, helping ensure recommendations are carefully considered, clearly communicated, and supported as plans are put into action.

How this benefits you

Good financial advice relies on more than a single conversation. It depends on the quality of the work that happens before advice is delivered and after decisions are made.

When systems are well-designed and intentionally governed, you benefit from clearer advice conversations, fewer delays, and the confidence that important details have been considered. As life changes occur, good advice can be revisited and updated thoughtfully, helping you turn the page and look forward to your next chapter.

Life outside of Lume Wealth

When I’m not working, I spend my time playing RPG video games, enjoying a movie, pursuing my passion for travel, or spending quality time with my wife and our two boys.
