“Marketech has built some impressive products and a loyal following in a market that’s ripe for improvement at the top end,” said Reynolds. “I’m excited to help guide the business through its next phase, including its listing ambitions and broader growth strategy. There is huge potential here to shape the way Australia’s most valued investors access the markets, especially as Ai continues to rapidly evolve.”
