FNZ Strengthens Executive Leadership Team with Key Appointments

WHY THIS MATTERS
Leadership structure is critical for global fintech platforms as they scale across regions with different regulatory environments and client demands. FNZ’s latest leadership appointments signal a renewed focus on accelerating growth in key markets, particularly North America and Asia Pacific, while strengthening its global commercial execution. By appointing Anthony Habis as Group Head of North America and Peter Hiom as Group Head of Asia Pacific—alongside their existing leadership roles—FNZ is reinforcing regional oversight in two areas where demand for digital wealth infrastructure is rapidly expanding.

North America remains a particularly strategic market for FNZ as large financial institutions increasingly seek technology platforms capable of delivering end-to-end wealth management services at scale. Partnerships with firms such as BMO and Raymond James highlight the growing appetite for integrated, AI-enabled wealth platforms that can streamline operations, reduce friction and deliver more digital-first client experiences. Strengthening regional leadership is intended to support execution, deepen client relationships and expand FNZ’s presence across the United States and Canada.

FNZ, the leading global wealth management platform, today announced a series of leadership appointments to support its continued global growth and strengthen execution across North America and Asia Pacific. 

Appointments:

• Anthony Habis appointed Group Head of North America, in addition to current role as Group Chief Commercial Officer
• Peter Hiom appointed Group Head of Asia Pacific, in addition to current role as Group Head of Markets
• Alasdair Munro appointed Chief Communications Officer

Anthony Habis has been appointed Group Head of North America, in addition to his ongoing role as Group Chief Commercial Officer. Anthony’s appointment reflects FNZ’s strong commitment to North America, an important growth region where the firm is seeing increasing demand for its AI-enabled, end-to-end wealth management platform, demonstrated through partnerships with clients including BMO and Raymond James.

His leadership will support FNZ’s next phase of expansion across the United States and Canada, executing on our new business pipeline, strengthening client partnerships and delivery execution, while also bringing greater commercial consistency and discipline across FNZ globally. 

Anthony brings more than 25 years of global leadership experience across wealth and asset management, including senior roles at MA Financial Group (Moelis Australia) and BNY Mellon, where he oversaw its client franchise across all investor segments and more than US$46 trillion in assets under administration. Anthony previously led FNZ’s Asia Pacific region.

Peter Hiom has been appointed Group Head of Asia Pacific, in addition to his ongoing role as Group Head of Markets. He will lead strategic direction, client delivery and growth across Asia Pacific, while continuing to lead FNZ’s strategy to provide technology and dealing services across the global capital markets value chain. 

Peter brings extensive experience in global capital markets and market infrastructure. Before joining FNZ, he served as Deputy CEO at ASX, leading primary and secondary markets, clearing and settlement, data and technical services. Earlier in his career, he held business development and technology roles at the London International Financial Futures Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange. 

Alasdair Munro has been appointed Chief Communications Officer, responsible for leading FNZ’s global marketing and corporate communications. He brings over 20 years of experience across PR, communications and marketing, and has been with FNZ since 2010, giving him deep knowledge of the business and the wealth management technology sector. His role also includes strengthening FNZ’s brand strategy to support the company’s growth. 

Roman Regelman, Group President at FNZ, commented: “These appointments reflect our focus on building world-class leadership and delivering transformational value to our clients, their advisors and end customers. Anthony’s experience and leadership will help us accelerate momentum in North America while strengthening the commercial discipline that underpins our growth across all regions. Peter’s deep markets and technology expertise will support our continued expansion across Asia Pacific and the global markets value chain. And Alasdair’s experience will ensure we continue to tell FNZ’s story with clarity and impact as we deliver our mission to open up wealth.” 

Anthony Habis added: “North America is a key market for FNZ, and I’m excited about what we can deliver next. By helping clients modernize and scale on FNZ’s AI-enabled, end-to-end wealth management platform, we can reduce friction, enable more transparent and digital-first experiences, and deliver on our mission to open up wealth for all.” 

Peter Hiom said: “Asia Pacific is a critical region for FNZ and a major growth market for our clients. I’m looking forward to building on our progress in the region while continuing to strengthen FNZ’s Markets capability across the global capital markets value chain.” 

Alasdair Munro added: “FNZ’s story is one of scale, innovation and long-term partnership. I’m excited to lead our global marketing and corporate communications as we continue to build trust, support our clients, and deliver on our mission to open up wealth.”

FF NEWS TAKE
The global wealth management technology race is intensifying as institutions look to modernise legacy infrastructure and deliver digital-first investment experiences.

FNZ’s leadership reshuffle reflects how platform providers are doubling down on regional execution while maintaining a global product strategy. As wealth platforms compete to become the operating system for modern advice businesses, strong regional leadership combined with scalable technology will likely be a key differentiator in winning major institutional partnerships.
