The founder of the London Entrepreneurial Exchange is joining Signia Wealth, the wealth management boutique announced today (6 October).

Shalini Khemka has been appointed as a managing director with responsibility for developing Signia’s private equity arm and organising the group’s expansion efforts.

She will work closely with Nathalie Dauriac-Stoebe, chief executive of Signia Wealth, and Spencer Moulton, director of the management firm’s private equity division, the group said.
