Since starting his career in Société Générale bank he has gained professional experience internationally in wealth management and banking in Dubai, New York, and Zurich. He founded the fintech startup, Wealthinitiative in 2016 and today he shares his expertise with us.

As Azar explains, some of the key problems that Wealthinitiative solves are the market inefficiency and fragmentation, as well as the high intermediary fee. More specifically, Wealthinitiative provides a marketplace for non-bankable assets. This being a platform that helps wealth management institutions match their clients’ needs in the strategic areas of three categories: real estate, art and passion investments, and business deals.
