Most recently, he was Chief Investment Officer for Namara Wealth Advisors in Dubai.
Gary said, “PAM is unique in the way that it blends technology with research to deliver an intellectual, market-leading investment process and proposition. I’m looking forward to joining the team and to leading the expansion of PAM’s investment service to more clients across the region.”
Symon Stickney, Group CEO at Independent Strategic Group, said, “I am delighted to welcome Gary to his new role and look forward to working with him in fulfilling PAM’s exciting potential in Singapore and further abroad in the region. His experience and know-how in the private wealth management sector will be a great asset in developing our offering and growing our client base globally.”
