Financial services industry consultancy Alpha FMC has hired Scott Lee. He joins as an executive director in its UK wealth management and private banking team.
Chris Kroeger, head of UK asset and wealth management at Alpha, commented, “Having someone of Scott’s experience and calibre join the team is a really exciting step. He has a track record and reputation across the wealth market, particularly in some areas of the value chain where we see high demand and growth. We are delighted to welcome him to the leadership team of our UK asset and wealth management business.”
Headquartered in the UK and quoted on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange, Alpha FMC is a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the asset management, wealth management and insurance industries. It has over 1,000 consultants globally, operating from 17 client-facing offices spanning the UK, North America, Europe and APAC. The firm’s wealth franchise has experienced considerable growth in demand in the last three years in particular.
Lee joins the firm with extensive experience across the financial consulting field. He was most recently managing partner at Davies Consulting, specialising in its wealth management and private banking practice. There, he led the development and growth of the business across the UK, Switzerland, Jersey and Luxembourg.
Prior to this, Lee also worked across asset and wealth management, banking, life and pensions, savings and investments and technology both as a consultant and a business leader. This experience included roles at KPMG, Citibank, Aegon and Aviva advising and successfully delivering transformational change and operational excellence to a wide range of businesses.
Lee stated, “I am delighted to be joining Alpha’s wealth team and can’t wait to get started. Chris Kroeger, Jamie Forrester and the team have built a compelling proposition and recent successes highlight just how the market is responding positively. For too long the market has been seeking consulting partners with the right expertise and scale, and has been left disappointed. Alpha provides this and I am looking forward to accelerating Alpha’s growth across the wealth management industry. Alpha’s market leading reputation for quality, market insight and delivery will be further enhanced as we create something very special in the market with the best people responding to our clients’ needs.”
