Indonesia appoints new disaster agency head in President Prabowo's third reshuffle in a month

Sydney, October 14, 2026 - Financial technology firm FAYBL has appointed Andrew Walsh as their new President (International) to help expand their wealth platform. Walsh, a seasoned financial industry executive, will oversee the company's integration with Iress Xplan and its rollout in Australia and internationally.

Walsh co-founded Xplan, an advice platform utilized by financial advisory practices in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, and other markets. He previously led Iress as Chief Executive for 13 years. In his new role, Walsh will focus on working with licensees, platforms and advice firms as FAYBL continues to roll out its platform updates.

FAYBL recently launched version 2.5 of its platform, which features AI agent Faybl capable of working across client records, documents, file notes, tasks, workflow, the diary, portfolio, and modelling information. Faybl integrates seamlessly into existing software systems while maintaining tight control for advisers and licensees. The platform prepares models, strategies, drafts documents, raises tasks, and records completed actions before any data is written back to other systems.

FAYBL's AI agent is designed to work with advisers throughout the day, preparing client files, drafting advice documents, pre-filling fact-finds, and flagging unverifiable items. This is a significant departure from basic AI used primarily for meeting notes and simple tasks, which leaves the adviser's day largely unchanged.

Steven Goh, co-founder and CEO of FAYBL, expressed excitement about Walsh's appointment and the capabilities of FAYBL V2.5. He believes the platform can transform the professional experience and economics of advice for the better. FAYBL V2.5 is now available to various financial service providers, with further firm launches expected in November.
