Ms Chen has over 15 years experience in financial services and wealth management most recently as product manager – XPLAN at IRESS Limited. At IRESS she was responsible for the product roadmap and delivery program of the XPLAN product suite globally. She has also held a series of senior analyst roles at Macquarie, MLC Online and the advice platforms teams at MLC/NAB.

Rubik CEO, Iain Dunstan, said: “Being able to lure excellent talent like Emily to Rubik is a great coup for us and a reflection of where we are at as an organisation. It comes with being able to offer prospective employees the opportunity to work in Fintech servicing the country’s leading financial services organisations.

“Emily’s extensive knowledge of wealth technology solutions will be invaluable in helping us to deliver even more to our clients.”

This appointment follows last week’s announcement that, subject to audit review, Rubik’s first half result is expected to be up more than 20 per cent on previous guidance of $2 million in Underlying EBITDA*. As well as the recent senior appointments of Lanie Conquest as senior institutional account manager, James Jackson as group executive – consulting, and Joanna McCarthy as head of marketing and communications.

* Underlying EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation, adjusted for any one-off or non-operating items during the period. This measure is after expensed R&D amounts.

Reporting to Rubik CEO, Iain Dunstan, he will be responsible for helping clients better integrate Rubik’s technology solutions with their existing systems.

Prior to joining Rubik, Mr Jackson was a senior manager with AustralianSuper. Before this he spent 15 years with Mercer Investments in a variety of roles in Australia and the United Kingdom.

Rubik CEO, Iain Dunstan, said James’ skills and expertise will be valuable not only in establishing a new growth area for Rubik but in adding value to existing and new clients.

“As senior manager at AustralianSuper James played an integral role in helping drive key investment programs for Australia’s largest super fund. At Mercer, James held a series of roles – including head of sales, marketing and business transformation, chief operating officer for Asia Pacific Investments, and global head of technical products and services – which make him a good fit for the Rubik business.

“We have recognised a significant opportunity in not just providing our clients with the right technology solutions, but also in helping our clients to better integrate them with their existing systems.

“While other service providers have played this role for our clients in the past, as the developers of the software we believe we’re best placed to help clients in this space.”

Mr Jackson’s appointment follows the recent appointment of Joanna McCarthy to Head of Marketing and Communications.
