“Increasingly, people want more than just stocks and bonds in their portfolios—they’re exploring options like venture capital, real estate, and private equity,” said Eric Satz, Founder and CEO of Alto. “With trillions of dollars sitting in retirement accounts, investors are asking how they can put that money to work in opportunities that were once off-limits. Bringing in the right leaders ensures we can meet that demand with discipline, vision, and operational excellence.”
Tomek Siergiejuk joins Alto after spending more than a decade at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, where he served as Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer. With over 20 years of experience in global finance, he’s no stranger to steering organizations through periods of rapid growth and navigating complex challenges.
