In this episode of the Adviser Tech Show, moneyinfo’s Managing Director Tessa Lee engages in a captivating conversation with Dan McMahon, the Head of Technology and Innovation at Hyman Robertson Personal Wealth.

“The only way you’re going to close the advice gap is if tech is doing more and more of the heavy lifting, so that’s really my mission as head of tech in this space”, Dan shares his unconventional journey from pension administration to becoming a tech and innovation leader, and the vision he has that goes along with it.

Dan and Tessa delve into the challenges of data management in pension administration, and both recognise the familiarity of too much paperwork and administration-heavy processes in both of their industries.
