NextWealth founder and managing director Heather Hopkins said: “I am excited to welcome Emma to the team. Her experience and knowledge of financial advice and adviser tech is second to none and her energy and enthusiasm make her a joy to work with.
“Having Emma on board will help us expand our business to offer bespoke consultancy alongside our well-established market research on financial advice business models, investment propositions and tech.”
Napier added: “I am absolutely thrilled to join Heather and the wonderful team at Next Wealth. We are embarking on considerable change as a sector which brings challenges and such a huge amount of opportunity.
