The fintech has secured 10 hires to further streamline its advice processes.
DASH Technology Group has announced 10 appointments across its operations, platform, superannuation, product development, and client success teams.
The team upgrades come after DASH completed a capital raise in March, which the fintech said would enable it to play an important role in making financial advice more accessible and improving the advice workflow burdens embedded within the advice process.
The upgrades include the appointment of Michelle Russo as the chief operating officer to oversee both the investment operations and client services teams, in addition to bringing key projects to the market.
“I’m excited to be joining an innovative and highly client-focused group, and a dynamic leadership team. I see real opportunity in DASH’s strategy to provide sophisticated and more efficient solutions for advisers and their clients,” Ms Russo said on her appointment.
Moreover, DASH said that Ms Russo’s previous experience in the industry would bolster its superannuation offering, Super Simplifier.
Alongside the new operating officer, superannuation veteran Mark Blair has also been appointed to DASH as a super specialist. According to the fintech, together, Ms Russo and Mr Blair will manage product enhancements to ensure they remain competitive and are a suitable solution for advisers.
Mr Blair previously held the position of executive general manager, superannuation trustee office at Equity Trustees, and also held similar roles at KPMG and Rice Warner.
Commenting on the key appointments, DASH chief executive Andrew Whelan said: “Getting the right people in the business is crucial right now. We are on track to deliver some innovative and exciting solutions for advisers that we believe will be a positive addition to any advice practice.”
These new hires, he added, are in line with the fintech’s growth strategy and with its mission to provide better advice tools to the market, Mr Whelan continued.
“Having a smooth tech stack where all elements integrate seamlessly, and from A-Z, is what will be the game changer for better staff satisfaction, less administration burdens, and happier clients,” he concluded.
