Who we are
Andrew Broadley
CHAIRMAN & CO-FOUNDER
​
Always passionate about financial services, I worked for 40 years in Europe, USA, Middle East and Africa. I am obsessed by the opportunities for improved financial outcomes for clients who adopt a goals-based investment philosophy. I am convinced that we have found a way to help clients change their behaviour for the good and thereby avoid the under-saving / over-consumption trap that so many others have fallen into. I take pride in the confidence that this new way of working provides valuable and relevant value propositions for advice firms that will improve their profitability and ensure their sustainability.

Stuart Thomson
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
​
I am fixated with using principles of functional design to solve complex problems. This passion has driven me through an incredibly rewarding career in which I’ve managed to solve strategic, risk and finance related problems for financial institutions, through the development of user-centric models, tools and dashboards, turning complicated bits of data into easy to understand information. The skills, techniques, and experience I’ve acquired over the past 15 years of solving complex quantitative problems has greatly influenced the simplistic client-centric approach we’ve built into Slate, and importantly taking steps to solving one of society’s biggest problems: planning with simplified financial certainty.

Evan Jackson
CTO & CO-FOUNDER
​
I’m an avid fan of the start-up world and, in particular, ideating how we can use new technology to solve real world problems. Possessing a technical background, I have grown 7 years of experience in the worlds of blockchain, finance and data analytics, designing and developing software platforms that are secure, robust and scalable in order to drive an idea from concept to reality. Slate presents our team with a beautiful challenge as we seek to marry the fields of technology, risk, investment and psychology into a platform that brings meaning to the relationship between advisor and client through financial consciousness.
