Welcoming Marc van de Walle to the Hupo Global Advisory Board

Former Global Head of Wealth Management at Standard Chartered and at OCBC, and Senior Advisor at Bain & Company - joining our Global Advisory Board.

Today we're glad to welcome Marc van de Walle to Hupo's Global Advisory Board. Marc has spent 30 years building wealth and banking franchises. He was most recently Standard Chartered's Global Head of Wealth Management, Deposits and Mortgages, and earlier Head of Wealth Management at OCBC and Global Head of Products for Bank of Singapore. Today he is a Senior Advisor at Bain & Company in Singapore, advising on wealth management, private banking, and retail banking. He is a CFA charterholder.

Marc knows the advice gap first-hand - the mass-affluent and everyday customers a bank simply can't serve profitably with human relationship managers today. That's precisely the frontier Hupo is built to open: making advisors and RMs far more productive, and using AI agents to reach the customers the economics have always left behind. Our mission is to make financial security accessible to everyone, and Marc will keep us building for the whole of distribution - the bank and wealth side, not just the carriers.

"In wealth and banking we've always known there are millions of clients we can't serve well enough, because the cost of good advice is simply too high. Hupo is attacking that problem head-on. I'm looking forward to helping them build for banks and wealth managers as seriously as for insurers."

— Marc van de Walle

"Marc has built wealth businesses at the highest level. He deeply understands from various key perspectives what excellence and value look like, not for only the advisors, or clients benefiting from advice, but how much more we can transform the sector to bring quality financial advisory to those who do not yet have access, but need it most. The team is exceedingly appreciative of Marc's support and his alignment, as we keep our mission front and center."

— Jean Neo, Co-Founder, Hupo

We're excited to build with Marc and learn from his decades of experience in the industry. Welcome, Marc.
