Johnson and Papendieck previously held co-founder/managing director and chief commercial officer roles respectively at Integrated.

These appointments signal another step for DASH towards its strategy to deliver technology that ensures quality advice is accessible to all Australians, regardless of portfolio size.

DASH CEO Andrew Whelan shares, “There’s no doubt 2024 was a huge year for DASH and seeing these two high calibre individuals join our executive team to help steer and execute on our strategy is great news. Darryl and Mark are stepping into newly created roles, and we are looking forward to what this will bring to the team.”

Whelan continues, “Darryl and Mark bring considerable expertise and experience with them. Following the acquisition of Integrated, we are of course committed to continuing to deliver the services and outcomes that Integrated’s clients expect, while also leveraging the best of both the DASH and Integrated worlds to deliver meaningful benefits for all clients.”

Johnson, co-founder of Integrated, brings a deep expertise in investment operations. In his new role, he will lead all platform-related product development and enhancements across DASH Technology Group.

“DASH has entrusted me with a clear mandate: to drive innovation in platform product development. I’m genuinely excited about the possibilities we can unlock with our experienced, professional, and dedicated team. We’re not just building for the next two to five years—we’re laying the foundation for the next 20 and beyond.” Says Johnson.

Papendieck has held many strategic and C-level roles including as the founding CEO of Australia’s first ‘online-only’ wrap platform and serving as the COO/CGO of advice groups, FinTech, and private wealth solutions. As chief commercial officer at DASH, he is responsible for driving growth, enhancing client engagement and ensuring DASH’s commercial strategy aligns with its overall vision.

“Whilst we know that navigating the accelerating change that technology is driving across our industry is not always easy, we also know that meaningful change only comes from embracing innovation. I look forward to supporting advice firms as they reimagine their business models and embrace smarter, integrated platform and advice technology to not just adapt but thrive in a digital-first world.”

LAB Group’s new integration partner, DocuSign, pioneered the development of e-signature technology, helping organisations connect and automate how they prepare, sign, act on and manage agreements. Today, more than 1 million customers and over a billion users worldwide use DocuSign to accelerate the process of doing business and to simplify people’s lives.

DocuSign’s platform is now integrated with LAB’s highly standardised client onboarding platform. The integration provides financial advisers with the capacity to digitise the signature and witnessing requirements for Limited Power of Attorney (POA) documentation. This accelerates advisers’ action on their clients’ behalf to open and activate new accounts.

The first organisation to benefit from LAB Group’s integration with DocuSign is Integrated Portfolio Solutions Pty Ltd (Integrated), a new customer for LAB. Integrated’s unique combination of technology and services removes the burden of portfolio administration and reporting for Private Client businesses and Family Offices. As a ‘whole-of-wealth’ non-custodial platform, Integrated enables its clients to retain an investment universe that is completely unconstrained by investment administration considerations or Excel spreadsheets.

Integrated Portfolio Solutions Co-Founder and Executive Director, Darryl Johnson, said: “We are excited to join the LAB Network and are looking forward to bringing its convenience and connectivity to Integrated customers and their clients. We are particularly pleased to partner with LAB as its integration with DocuSign goes live. It’s a clear value-add to offer our customers a virtual dotted line on which they can leave a digital wet signature which is fully auditable and verifiable. This will let our customers open new investment accounts at the touch of a button, reducing the onboarding process from days to minutes.”

Nick Boudrie, CEO and co-founder of LAB Group, said: “We are pleased to welcome Integrated to the LAB Network as we announce a new integration between DocuSign and our digital onboarding platform. This integration will bring a range of benefits: it will save advisers time in originating applications, it streamlines downstream account opening for other investment products and it builds upon our upstream and downstream connectivity in stockbroking, where the LAB Network currently offers the strongest network effects. We have built this integration in a scalable manner to benefit all members of the LAB Network. This reflects our commitment to continually deliver increased automation and greater efficiency to the financial services industry.”
