Fresh omlet: Nick Fadel

Nick, a financial planner in a previous life, has joined the team to help showcase Openmarkets Client Manager and Advice to the world. Nick lets us in on a secret that might make owning depreciating assets worthwhile. Shhh 🤫

How do you like your eggs?

Poached, without a doubt.

What do you do (or expect to be doing) at OMG?

I’m part of the Sales & Relationships team and my role is the National BDM for Openmarkets products.

What does that mean? I’m responsible for the sale of our B2B solutions (such as Openmarkets Client Manager and Openmarkets Advice) across the financial adviser network.

If you were a mythical creature, what would you be?

I would be a dragon, as a dragon could fly, which represents freedom (something I miss in lockdown) as well as power and strength, which I also don’t mind!

What are you most excited about working on at OMG?

There are heaps of exciting things about OMG, but the main ones for me are:

• Being part of the growth journey from day one
• The enjoyment of working with people who want to make a difference and aren’t caught up in corporate politics (thank god my old employer can’t read these answers)

What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen or heard about recently in technology?

Apple AirTag – it’s a simple but great security solution. Put it on your pet or child in case they go missing in a public place.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever invested in?

Two things, actually:

• New cars. Yes, they’re depreciating assets unless they are collectables; but they give me joy and a smile on my face when I’m driving 😊 so in my eyes they’re a great investment.
• My education. Which is not cheap, especially my Masters that is currently ongoing… but I know education will pay off in the long term.

If you had to sing karaoke, what’s the song, and how does it make you feel?

Eye of the tiger. The song makes me feel re-energized and ready to kick goals.

What word or words come to mind when you think of OMG?

Fresh, exciting, enjoyable and appealing.
