Alexei Samarenko is a Principal Consultant in Davies’ Financial Services practice, specialising in transformation across wealth management and asset management. A PRINCE2-certified project manager, he has been advising financial services clients on complex change programmes since 2017.
Alexei works with asset managers, wealth managers and institutional banks to deliver technology change, operating-model design and broader transformation initiatives. His experience spans the UK, Jersey, the Isle of Man and Luxembourg. He is increasingly focused on how artificial intelligence and regulatory change are reshaping wealth management, including the potential to broaden access to advice and investment services.
Clients engage Alexei when they require clear delivery ownership, disciplined programme control and confidence that complex initiatives will remain on track. He brings structure to ambiguous environments, maintains momentum through uncertainty and helps senior stakeholders understand the implications of market, technology and regulatory developments for future operating models. He also identifies emerging risks early, enabling clients to intervene before issues become costly to remediate.
His consulting style is grounded in early stakeholder engagement, clear communication and pragmatic solutions that are sustainable beyond initial implementation. Alexei prioritises surfacing difficult questions during delivery, ensuring that recommendations are robust, actionable and aligned to client objectives. This approach gives stakeholders greater clarity, stronger decision support and a more resilient foundation for lasting change.
Alexei approaches each assignment as an opportunity to solve a distinct business challenge and deepen his understanding of the sector. He stays close to market developments through industry conferences, specialist financial services publications and engagement with experienced practitioners across the market.
Beyond client work, Alexei is a Liveryman and charitable-fund trustee of the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants. Through this role, he supports fundraising and charities that help young people in London.
