In this episode of FinTech Impact, host Jason Pereira interviews Mike Wilson, CEO and co-founder of Hamachi, an AI governance layer for financial advisors that unifies data from systems like CRMs and portfolio platforms to power workflow “bots” such as a daily dossier and household brief. Wilson explains Hamachi’s origin, its compliance-first guardrails, and its strategy to embed via integrations and API rather than compete for the advisor desktop. They also discuss roadmap integrations and partners, including TaxStatus, FP Pathfinder, Financial’s client portal distribution, and potential research data sources like Morningstar and Zacks.
