We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with our MiQ community: Brett Schatto, renowned for his leadership at Pride Advice, has now joined MiQ as our new Chief Executive Officer.
Brett’s impact in the financial advice sector is well-known. Headquartered in South Australia, Pride Advice – under his stewardship – more than doubled in size with the acquisition of two local firms, growing its adviser team from four to eleven and expanding support staff to 30. This achievement, amid a broader trend of industry downsizing, reflects Brett’s ability to strategically grow while staying firmly focused on client outcomes.
It’s this proven leadership that makes Brett a fantastic fit as we enter a transformative era at MiQ. Earlier this year, we entered into final terms with AZ NGA, a progressive and fast-growing financial services group. This partnership gives us access to deeper expertise, stronger resources, and more opportunity for innovation, while ensuring MiQ continues under its own AFSL, with the same trusted brand and team you already know.
With Brett as CEO, MiQ is perfectly positioned to:
- Enhance client experience with even more capability and support.
- Accelerate innovation, keeping us ahead of market shifts.
- Sustain a strong team culture where advisers and staff can thrive in service of your goals.
“MiQ has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted financial advice firms. I’m honoured to join as CEO and guide us into the next chapter. Together, with the backing of AZ NGA and the exceptional MiQ team, we will continue delivering the outcomes our clients deserve.”
We also extend heartfelt thanks to David Brown, our Chairman and Interim CEO, whose steady leadership has guided us through this period of change with clarity and grace.
Thank you for your continued trust in MiQ. We’re excited about what lies ahead – and confident that this next chapter will elevate our service to you even further.
