Cardena announces partner appointment


Cardena Private Wealth has announced the appointment of Tom McDonald as a partner of the boutique wealth management and advisory firm.
The appointment came after McDonald celebrated his tenth year in the company and Ray Djani, Cardena managing director, said he had been a highly respected member of the team.
“Since joining Cardena ten years ago Tom has distinguished himself by his dedication to continuous professional development and academic excellence,” Djani said.
“Attributes he steadfastly regards as being essential for the delivery of the highest standards of professional client advice and ongoing service.”
The appointment would align with Cardena’s growth strategy that foresaw increased demand for financial advice by high net wealth clients, families, business owners and senior corporate executives.
McDonald said he was initially attracted to Cardena for the opportunity to work alongside a highly regarded team of professionals, but also a strong collaborative firm with exciting growth prospects.
“Our clients are successful people who are busy doing what they do best and I love helping them to achieve the things that are most important to them and their families,” McDonald said.
“I look forward to playing my part in a senior capacity utilising my expertise and experience to strengthen and expand Cardena’s client advisory business and marketplace offering.”
