Banh joins from Fidante Partners Europe, part of Challenger Limited, which entered into a strategic partnership with Fulcrum in October 2025. He spent the past 11 years at Fidante as head of legal and compliance and chief operating officer of its UK office, where he led the development of the firm’s UK and EU operations within its multi-affiliate model.
