The Akambo Growth Story, with Joe Akiki
Joe Akiki, Managing Director of Akambo, joins Rob Pyne to share how a business of around $16 million in revenue became a group of more than 200 people generating ~ $75 million in just three and a half years.
Joe explains why Akambo launched managed accounts in 2011, how a conversation about SMAs turned into a full scrip merger with First Financial, and why Merchant came in as a minority partner. He also covers the “many restaurants, one kitchen” approach to integration, and how Akambo was the first firm in Australia to run Claude against the Morningstar Direct feed.
A great listen for advice…
