UPDATE: FNZ has just announced key executive appointments aimed at accelerating its growth strategy across North America and global markets. Ryan Beach has been appointed as Group Head of North America, while Peter Hiom takes on the role of Group Head of Markets. This development comes as FNZ positions itself for expanded market innovation and leadership.
These strategic appointments, revealed earlier today, reflect FNZ’s commitment to enhancing its service delivery and client partnerships in a rapidly evolving landscape. Ryan Beach, based in Nebraska, will spearhead FNZ’s initiatives in the U.S. and Canada, aiming to leverage the significant demand for its AI-enabled wealth management platform. He brings nearly 20 years of experience from his previous roles as CEO of F2 Strategy and President at Orion.
Roman Regelman, Group President at FNZ, emphasized the importance of these additions, stating, “These appointments reflect our focus on building world-class leadership and delivering transformational value to our clients, advisors, and end customers.” Beach’s leadership is expected to strengthen FNZ’s partnerships with major clients, including BMO and Raymond James.
In a parallel move, Peter Hiom will oversee FNZ’s global markets business from London. His extensive background in capital markets, including senior positions at ASX and the Sydney Futures Exchange, equips him to enhance FNZ’s multi-asset execution and post-trade technology offerings. Hiom’s appointment is crucial as FNZ seeks to embed its markets services more deeply within its global operations.
“I’m excited to build on the strong foundations already in place,” Hiom remarked. “FNZ Markets is uniquely positioned to transform the market-side infrastructure that underpins wealth management globally.” His focus will be on delivering innovative and scalable solutions that meet increasing client demand.
Both appointments underscore FNZ’s momentum in North America and its broader strategy for global expansion. The firm is dedicated to transforming the wealth management sector by integrating cutting-edge technology and deep market expertise, as highlighted in recent partnerships and client engagements.
As FNZ navigates this pivotal moment, the industry will be watching closely to see how Beach and Hiom leverage their expertise to drive growth and innovation. The urgency of their roles cannot be overstated as FNZ aims to capitalize on significant opportunities within the wealth management space.
With these strategic moves, FNZ is not just investing in leadership; it is making a bold statement about its future in the global financial landscape. Stay tuned for more updates on how these changes will impact clients and the market at large.
