Synpulse, an international consultancy to financial institutions, has appointed Hong Kong-based duo Andreas Mettenberger and Adrien Thonet as partners.

Now in his ninth year with Synpulse, Andreas Mettenberger has played an important role in the expansion of the firm’s wealth and asset management practice in Asia-Pacific. He has expertise in digitalisation, operating model design, and regulatory readiness, and leads the firm’s WealthCockpit implementation offering for financial institutions across the region.

Adrien Thonet has been a driving force behind Synpulse’s growth in the Avaloq space (Avaloq is a banking and wealth management technology provider). He has over a decade of expertise across Avaloq projects, with a focus on the wealth management and private banking segments. Alongside Asia-Pacific, Thonet also supports projects in the Middle East.

Their energy and forward‑looking vision will further propel our teams and clients toward bold, transformative growth across APAC and beyond.”
