Dispatch Names 4 Advisors as Customer Base Jumps Fivefold

1 articles · Updated · InvestmentNews · Aug 5

Summary

  • Dispatch formed its first advisory board, adding Bob Oros, Rajini Kodialam, Stephen Langlois and Sachin Shah as the wealth-tech infrastructure firm pushes to scale.
  • Fivefold customer growth over the past year drove the move, with assets managed by firms on Dispatch's platform climbing from about $900 billion to more than $9 trillion.
  • The company says wealth firms still rely too heavily on spreadsheets and manual data entry for account opening, onboarding and custodial reconciliation, especially as acquisitions create fragmented back-office systems.
  • Dispatch's software maps custodian data requirements and pulls information from CRM and planning tools into a single request; in one Sanctuary Wealth case study, it cut complex household onboarding to roughly 30 minutes.
  • The appointments come about two months after Dispatch launched Advisor Transitions, as advisor mobility stays elevated with more than 11,000 experienced advisors and nearly 39,000 representatives switching firms in 2025.
