Milemarker, a technology platform serving advisory firms, independent broker-dealers (IBDs), and registered investment advisors (RIAs), has appointed Kailash Duraiswami as its new Chief Technology Officer. The appointment brings significant fintech expertise to the company’s mission of transforming how financial advisory firms manage and leverage their data.
Duraiswami joins Milemarker following a notable career in financial technology innovation. He previously founded Pantenix, an artificial intelligence platform that automated data-entry processes for alternative investments. The success of Pantenix led to its acquisition by Orion Advisor Solutions in 2021, just 18 months after launch. At Orion, Duraiswami played a key role in developing their data streaming platform, which earned recognition with the 2023 WealthManagement.com Industry Award for ‘Disruptor.’
The appointment comes at a crucial time for the financial advisory industry, which faces increasing challenges in data management and operational efficiency. Milemarker’s platform addresses these challenges through six core use cases, including system-to-system synchronization, firm analytics, centralized workflows, and investment centers.
Jud Mackrill, Co-Founder of Milemarker, emphasized Duraiswami’s unique ability to simplify complex problems into effective solutions. ‘The mission to help advisors own their data and control their destiny is massive,’ Mackrill stated, highlighting the strategic importance of bringing Duraiswami aboard as a partner.
Duraiswami’s appointment represents a significant investment in Milemarker’s technological capabilities. His background combines financial expertise – evidenced by his financial economics degree from Emory University – with over a decade of experience as a software engineer, entrepreneur, and technology leader in financial services.
Kyle Van Pelt, CEO of Milemarker, expressed confidence that Duraiswami’s experience as a founder and track record in scaling innovative technologies will strengthen the company’s ability to deliver transformative solutions for advisory firms.
The integration of Duraiswami’s leadership into Milemarker’s team signals the company’s commitment to advancing its technology platform and maintaining its position at the forefront of financial advisory technology solutions. For the financial advisory industry, this appointment could herald new developments in how firms manage their data and operational workflows.
