Account Executive

About Luminary

Luminary is a data and collaboration platform purpose built for wealth transfer services.

More than $100 trillion will pass between generations in the decades ahead – and high net-worth asset owners say they want their advisors to lead them through this process. However, more than 70% of these clients feel there is a large gap between the services they expect and what they are receiving.

At the heart of this disconnect is the lack of integrated technology systems – making delivery of wealth transfer advice and services costly and cumbersome. Luminary’s AI powered data and collaboration platform brings together wealth, legal, and tax advisors to help them deliver deeper insights, create capacity to touch more clients, and differentiate their businesses for growth.

Our customers are leaders in the delivery of tax efficient wealth transfer guidance for complex clients, including investment managers, professional services practices, and family offices. Luminary’s founders have deep experience in this space and in building successful software businesses.

Luminary is led by CEO David Barnard, former Head of Private Wealth at AllianceBernstein. We are backed by leading venture capital investors, prominent wealth management firms, and several family offices.
