GoldMoney, the Canadian financial service and technology group, has named John Butler as vice president and head of wealth services.

Butler has over 20 years of experience in international finance, having served as a managing director in research, strategy, asset allocation and product development roles.

"GoldMoney is far more than just an innovative, high-growth fintech firm," said Butler. "It is playing a historic, transformative role in restoring gold from a peripheral, alternative asset to one that occupies its rightful place at the center of any robust wealth preservation or capital appreciation strategy.”

Butler will work with the rest of the GoldMoney team to provide a range of wealth services globally to clients of all levels of wealth, the firm said.
