Before joining Tilney, he was the chief operating officer of Ingenious Asset Management.
After Tilney purchased Ingenious, Walden oversaw the fusion of the two groups’ clients, teams, operations and business systems.
At Sandaire, he will similarly be responsible for “advancing and enhancing” the group’s operating model, including leading the charge on the integration of new technology to tap into future clients’ needs and emerging client segments.
He will also serve as an executive director on the Sandaire board.
With Walden’s 28 years of experience in the private wealth sector and “robust operational and IT background,” Sandaire chief executive Alexandra Altinger hopes he will “pave the way for the company’s sustainable future.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Andrew to our leadership team in his new role as chief operating officer and to the Sandaire business,” she says.
“We believe he will be instrumental in enriching the client experience from both a technology and infrastructure standpoint.
“In the ever-evolving wealth management space, this forward-thinking technological focus will enable Sandaire to better facilitate the transition of wealth to the next generation and respond to future clients’ needs.”
Waldren says the role with Sandaire was a “huge opportunity to revolutionise the way wealth is managed and transitioned between generations.”
