Head of Growth

About Arca

Arca is a pioneering wealth management firm innovating through AI from the ground up. Unlike traditional financial advice which can be infrequent and impersonal, Arca offers a continuously adaptive service that feels highly personalized, replicating the tailored expertise that previously only ultra-high-net-worth individuals had access to. The platform automates routine tasks, allowing advisors to focus on human insight and empathy. It maintains a dynamic, up-to-date understanding of each client's life changes and market conditions to proactively adjust financial plans.

The company has started by acquiring firms managing over $1 billion in assets and aims to grow organically by delivering exceptional client experiences. Arca operates in a $20 trillion market long overdue for reinvention.

The Team and Workplace
