She is a specialist in managing large transformation and change programmes, business strategy and operating model reviews, including cross-border and post-merger integrations, outsourcing and offshoring, and most recently digital solutions strategies and deliveries. Anja was previously Client Solutions and Product Manager at InvestCloud / Finantix?€?where she focused on client relationship management and client lifecycle management products. This followed senior roles held at Capco Switzerland, BNP Paribas Fortis and Securities Services, JP Morgan Chase Luxembourg, and Accenture Benelux. New Sionic Director Niall Buggy has 25 years' experience leading complex business transformations in wealth and asset management, hedge funds and private equity. He specialises in operating model design and implementation, organisational change and offshoring, client journey and process optimisation, product launches, portfolio and risk management.

They include benchmarking, strategy, building digital-first cultures, leveraging fintech partnerships and embedding major digital projects including client lifecycle management (CLM) and client relationship management (CRM) initiatives. Combined with Sionic's extensive existing operating model, change management and vendor selection experience, this means the firm's wealth management and private banking clients will benefit from specific wealth management focused advice and support across the full spectrum of digital transformation platforms and processes.
