Midwinter announces new head of product

The advice tech provider confirmed that Andrew Zietara will take on the role effective from Monday, where he will lead product strategy and proposition.

Mr Zietara joins Midwinter from capital market technology solution provider GBST, where he worked with a key focus on enterprise technology strategy and delivery.

Prior to GBST, Mr Zietara worked at AMP in both a licensee management and advice practice coaching capacity.

“I am passionate about the difference technology can make in financial advice,” Mr Zietara said.

“There is a big opportunity for advice businesses to improve efficiency through technology, particularly for advice production and compliance.

“I also believe many Australians could benefit from advice if it was more accessible. I am excited to join a company that is building technology that will unlock these opportunities.”

Midwinter’s chief commercial officer, Steve Davison, said the company is “delighted” to bring Mr Zietara on board.

“His background in financial advice consulting, licensee management and financial services technology implementation makes him a great fit to provide both forward-thinking innovation and delivery discipline for Midwinter’s advice software,” Mr Davison said.
