ABOUT GAVIN VOLLMER

I lead the Wealth segment at Baringa Partners, within our Wealth & Asset Management practice (covering Wealth, Asset Management, and Life & Pensions). I work with leadership teams when the stakes are high and the path isn’t obvious; helping them cut through complexity, make clear strategic choices, and deliver change that shows up in the numbers, the customer experience, and the operating model.My strongest outcomes come from creating breakthrough clarity in moments of strategic challenge or confusion: when priorities compete, the organisation is split, the market is shifting, or technology and regulation are forcing hard trade-offs. I bring structure, pace, and a pragmatic edge; aligning C‑suite and management teams around the few decisions that matter, and then mobilising delivery so the strategy becomes real.I build long-term relationships with C‑suites and senior management teams, acting as a trusted partner over multiple cycles of change. I’m as comfortable facilitating executive decision-making as I am rolling up my sleeves to drive transformation, governance, dependency management, and benefits realisation.My experience spans the wealth ecosystem, working with- Wealth managers, DFMs and retail wealth firms- Life & Pensions providers- Technology partners, distributors, outsourcers, regulators and industry bodiesI’m particularly energised by “brain‑thumping” challenges across strategy, target operating model design, and customer & digital engagement—with a clear expectation that outcomes are tangible, measurable and embedded.Alongside client work, I lead our practice’s People Pillar, accountable for DE & I, recruitment, communications, performance evaluation, socials and people-related change. It’s one of the hardest and most rewarding leadership roles I’ve taken on—if you’re building in this space and want to trade ideas, I’m always happy to connect.I’m especially keen to partner with Tier 1 wealth and pensions firms and PE-backed platforms where decisive strategy and high-pace execution can unlock real value.
