Former Goldman Sachs MD joins platform board
Former Goldman Sachs managing director, Andrew Rennie, has been appointed chairman of AreaWealth, a wealth management technology platform.
He would bring over three decades of experience in financial services to the role, leading AreaWealth’s growth strategy.
Rennie said the company, founded in 2019, was “perfectly positioned” to “take advantage of the wealth management industry’s increasing focus on technology”.
Commenting on his appointment, he said: “AreaWealth’s highly experienced executive leadership team has developed a technology solution for the advice industry that delivers significant time efficiencies and cost savings, ultimately leading to better outcomes for clients.
“The next 12 to 24 months will be transformative for AreaWealth as it attracts new investors to the business, grows its funds under management and evolves the wealth management industry.”
He succeeded David Curtis, who would transition to non-executive director and board member at the firm.
Prior to AreaWealth, Rennie was chief of staff at Segantii Capital Management in Hong Kong.
His experience also included partner and MD at Goldman Sachs and executive director at UBS Australia.
