This weekend, I flew back to the UK, sat at the kitchen table, and told my parents the news. Easily the best day of my entire life.

This is as good as it gets as a founder. I'm so excited to be joining such a wonderful/talented team at Wealthsimple.

Dennis is the most skilled engineer I know.

I’ve been lucky enough to see the bigger plan behind this, and it’s genuinely exciting.

Anything he produces has my highest possible recommendation.
