Rockland, MA – November 18, 2024 – Cutter Associates, a leading provider of consulting services and research for asset managers, asset owners, wealth managers, and other investment companies around the world, announces that Natalie McIntyre will join Cutter as Head of Consulting, replacing Arnie Wachs, who is retiring after 15 years at the firm.

“We are excited to welcome Natalie aboard and look forward to adding her asset and wealth management background along with her technology expertise to Cutter’s team,” said Cutter CEO Cindy Castellano. “We want to thank Arnie for his years of leadership and his integral role in expanding Cutter’s presence and client base in APAC and EMEA. While he will be greatly missed, Natalie is the perfect choice to take the reins and grow our consulting practice around the world.”

Natalie was most recently the Head of Technology Consulting, formerly Axxsys Consulting, and a partner at Alpha FMC AWM North America, where she served as a senior advisor to asset and wealth managers, delivering end-to-end solutions spanning business strategy, transformation, technology design, and implementation.

Natalie also served as a key member of Alpha FMC’s North American Management Committee and the Executive Committee, overseeing a host of business operations responsibilities across real estate, infrastructure, social, culture, and more. Prior to that, she was a consultant at Casey Quirk by Deloitte, serving as a subject matter expert on alternative asset management, institutional investors, and hedge funds. Natalie began her investment management career at Bridgewater Associates, specializing in distribution strategy and operations.
