Adviser platform alternative WealthO2 has appointed Graham Hand as a non-executive director to its board, as the platform passes the $1.5 billion mark for funds under administration.

Hand had 40 years’ experience in financial markets, including group treasurer and treasury managing director roles at large banks.
