Darryl Johnson

Founder, CEO and senior financial services executive with more than 25 years’ experience building, scaling, transforming and exiting regulated wealth platform businesses. I co-founded Integrated Portfolio Solutions in 2010 and helped build it from inception into a leading non-custodial whole-of-wealth platform. By completion of its sale to DASH in October 2024, IPS administered $12.5 billion and supported approximately 100 advisers across 50 firms. I led business strategy, proprietary platform development, operating-model design, governance, financial performance, client relationships and regulatory accountability. I also played a central role in the valuation, due diligence, structuring and negotiation of the strategic sale. Following the acquisition, I became DASH Chief Platform Officer and Head of Integrated Portfolio Solutions. I retained accountability for IPS, led platform/product strategy and integration, and delivered the objectives underpinning the FY25 earn-out before completing my transition in November 2025. Today, through DAJ Consulting, I advise wealth managers, platform operators and professional services firms on operational transformation, regulated workflows, product propositions, commercial strategy and AI-enabled technology. My strength is converting complex commercial, operational and regulatory problems into clear decisions, practical roadmaps and executable change. Core areas include wealth platforms, portfolio administration, product and technology strategy, operating models, MDA/RG179, custody, governance, risk, M&A, post-acquisition integration and AI-enabled product/process design.
