FAYBL, an artificial intelligence-powered financial advisory technology company, has appointed Andrew Walsh as President (International), strengthening its leadership team as it expands its platform and deepens integration with Iress' Xplan financial planning software.
Walsh, who co-founded Xplan and previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Iress for 13 years, brings extensive experience in financial technology, wealth management software and enterprise financial advisory systems.
In his new position, Walsh will support FAYBL's international expansion, working with financial advisory firms, licensees and technology platforms as the company moves toward broader enterprise-level deployments across Australia and international markets.
The appointment coincides with the rollout of FAYBL's version 2.5 platform, which introduces deeper integration with Xplan and expands the capabilities of its AI-powered financial advisory assistant.
The updated technology can work with client records, documents, file notes, portfolio information, modelling data, calendars and workflow tasks within existing advisory systems, aiming to reduce administrative workloads and improve operational efficiency.
FAYBL has also confirmed that six additional firms are being onboarded as part of the platform's latest development phase.
The appointment reflects increasing investment in AI-driven financial advisory technology, as wealth management firms seek to automate routine processes and allow advisers to dedicate more time to client relationships and strategic financial planning.
Walsh's experience developing established financial planning infrastructure is expected to support FAYBL's efforts to expand adoption of its technology across the international wealth management industry.
