      Vice President | Managing Director

      OpenWealth Association | Synpulse8

      After completing a PhD in Natural Sciences at ETH Zurich with a strong focus on software development, Simon Alioth began his career as a software engineer at Avaloq before joining Synpulse, where he has spent over 16 years driving technology innovation in wealth management. As Managing Director of Synpulse8, he leads the Swiss organisation and its banking and wealth management product portfolio — including the firm's enterprise-grade agentic AI platform — and drives technology advisory services with a strong focus on connectivity, integration and open finance.
      Simon co-founded the OpenWealth Association and serves as its Vice President. What started as an idea he developed together with a client has grown into an industry-driven API standard enabling interoperability across custodians, portfolio management systems and client platforms. Today, he and his team at Synpulse orchestrate the OpenWealth community and are pioneering the OpenWealth Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a governed, auditable and permissioned tool layer for agentic use cases in wealth management.

        Next Wave: Agentic Wealth Management - Powered by OpenWealth API

        This session explores how wealth management is moving beyond traditional applications towards AI agents as a new interface layer for advisers and clients. It examines how the OpenWealth API, as an industry-driven standard, enables interoperability across custodians, portfolio management systems and client platforms, and introduces the OpenWealth Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a governed, auditable and permissioned tool layer for agentic use cases. In a live showcase attendees will see a wealth manager agent query portfolios, detect investment strategy drift and initiate rebalancing through OpenWealth MCP. The discussion will then look ahead to the governance, liability and multi-custodian implications of agent-ready wealth infrastructure, while inviting banks, fintechs and AI providers to engage with the OpenWealth community and help shape the next generation of our API standard.

        Speaker(s): Dominic Greenwood, Chief Innovation Officer, Expersoft, Dr. Simon Alioth, Vice President, OpenWealth Association & Managing Director, Synpulse8, Raphael Bianchi, President, OpenWealth Association & Co-CEO Synpulse8 (Moderator)
