Fazil Pineda
Family office CIO and governance technology founder
Canberra
One of the few technologists in APAC who has spent a decade operating a family office as a direct principal before building the software layer to govern it.
You’d call me when a family has the wealth but not the process, and the decisions still live in one person's head.
Proof
- 33 years in Technology, 18 years at Microsoft as Data Leader for Australia and New Zealand
- Managing the Pineda Family Office since 2014 — a decade as a direct principal before writing a line of product code
- Vestry launched September 2026 — Madrid trademark registered, first revenue proven, built in public
What I believe
A conviction worth publishing carries its own disconfirmer. Family office operators get plenty of confident opinion. What they rarely get is a view that says precisely where it would be wrong — and commits to it in writing.
Open to
Conversations with APAC family office principals navigating the $5M–$50M governance gap. SMSF specialists, estate planning solicitors, and financial planners building a prepared-client practice. Technology investors who understand what practitioner-built means.
How I work
APAC principals and their advisers. Writing via The Principal's Brief — fortnightly. Building Vestry in public. First calls are thirty minutes: governance structure, investment thesis, or platform evaluation. I reply personally the same business day.
