The former head of Singapore at Blackrock has remerged at wealth management technology firm additiv.

Kevin Hardy joins additiv’s Sinagpore office to lead its Asia business, according to a statement, succeeding Dario Bernasconi who was acting as interim head for the region and now returns to his role as group head of operations and partners.

Hardy has over 25 years of experience in asset and wealth management and was most recently with Blackrock as its head of Singapore and APAC head of ETF and index investments. Previously, Hardy had held various roles with Northern Trust, State Street and Legal & General.

Asia Growth

Asia is additiv’s second-largest market after Europe and the wealth management fintech has found success with the likes of Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in Indonesia. 

«additiv is growing rapidly across the world, but especially in Asia, where our product proposition matches the key market trends in terms of delivering richer customer engagement to broader demographics of customers and facilitating networked models for aggregating supply and demand,» said additiv CEO Michael Stemmle.
