Part 3 of our podcast miniseries featuring stage discussions and interviews from our annual conference, held on 18–19 November 2025. Recorded live.

In this special Tech-NEW-logy Interview, held within our annual conference in November, Paul McKibbin sits down with Anthony Abenante, the new CEO of Archway Group.

Five months into the role, Anthony shares how one of the longest-standing platforms in the family office space is approaching its next chapter following its acquisition by Aquiline. The conversation explores what it takes to modernise a core system after years of underinvestment, including priorities around UI, reporting, hiring, and opening up the platform to better integrate within a broader tech ecosystem.

With reflections on Archway’s history, its role as a “system of record” for family offices, and the realities of operating in a fast-changing market, this episode offers a grounded look at how legacy platforms can evolve — without trying to be everything to everyone.
