Wealth Industry Luminary Joins F2 Strategy

Well-known to this publication, Seb Dovey, co-founder of Scorpio Partnership - subsequently sold to an AON subsidiary in 2014 - is now chairman of F2 Strategy, the consultancy.
Seb Dovey, a prominent strategy and opinion-former in the wealth
management industry – whose efforts have been honoured by the
publisher of this website – has been appointed as chairman of F2
Strategy’s board.
F2 Strategy is a
management consultancy and has contributed commentary to
these pages and those of sister news service Family Wealth
Report in North America. (See
here.)
Dovey co-founded Scorpio
Partnership in 1998 as a global consultancy, strategic
research and data business, focusing on areas such as wealth
management at a time when the sector was still relatively
low-profile in the media and financial industry. He is a regular
speaker and writer about industry issues (see
here). In 2018 he won the award from WealthBriefing
for outstanding contribution to wealth management thought
leadership (individual category). His business, Scorpio, was sold
in 2014 to McLagan, a business owned by AON. He is also a member
of this news service's editorial
advisory board.
At a time when the global sector continues to wrestle with
shifting client demands, intergenerational wealth transfer, and
digital tech, there is a need for such expertise.
“The strategic opportunity of F2 is an exciting one. F2 has a
unique depth of specialist experience focused on rapid, agile
technology implementations. This meets a specific need for wealth
managers that are keen to sustainably accelerate their financial
growth. F2’s strategic plans have positive momentum and are
poised for expansion,” said Dovey.
“Growth is exciting for us because it comes with opportunity
along with a new set of challenges. We help our clients see how
bringing in experienced and tenured support is additive to their
business. In this way, Seb is to F2 Strategy as we are to our
clients. He is consultative, open, exceptionally well-connected
and the person we’ve admired for a very long time. It’s an honour
to have Seb’s guidance, perspective and faith during this
exciting time for our business,” Doug Fritz, founder and CEO of
F2 Strategy, said.
In his chairmanship role, Dovey will enable the executive
leadership of F2 Strategy to implement the strategic growth plan,
F2 Strategy said.
