During 25 years in banking and capital markets technology, Tikker CEO and founder Tom Whittle witnessed the sector become increasingly automated through electronic trading.

But when his focus switched to wealth management, he was struck by the outdated processes on which DFMs relied during rebalances.

Tom launched Tikker in 2024, with a mission to speed up operations, reduce risk, and support compliance by creating automation that connects legacy infrastructure with modern processes - achieving for DFMs the kind of integration seen upstream in financial markets. Tikker envisions a fully integrated wealth management ecosystem, where DFMs’ multi-platform operations are centrally managed, automated, secure, and consistently aligned to regulatory expectations - enabling safer, fairer outcomes for retail investors.
