Pragmatic Advisory Appoints Gary Elden as Chief Executive Officer

Pragmatic Advisory LLC is pleased to announce the appointment of Gary Elden as Chief Executive Officer. Elden brings more than 25 years of executive leadership in financial services, operational scaling, and transformational business strategy to the role.

As CEO, Elden will lead Pragmatic Advisory's strategic vision, operational execution, and market positioning as the firm continues to expand its comprehensive advisory services across the region.

"Pragmatic Advisory was founded on the principle that sophisticated wealth requires equally sophisticated management," said Eduard Hamamjian, Co-Founder of Pragmatic Advisory. "Gary's operational excellence and track record of scaling multi-national organizations make him ideally suited to lead our next phase of growth while maintaining the disciplined, client-centric approach that defines our firm."

Elden previously served as Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Executive Officer of SThree plc (FTSE-listed), where he led the transformation of a global professional services firm across 20+ countries, improving organizational efficiency and expanding institutional capabilities. His background in building and scaling high-performing advisory teams, together with his deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and governance, positions him to accelerate Pragmatic Advisory's mission of delivering institutional-grade advisory services to clients and advisors alike.

"I am honored to lead Pragmatic Advisory at such a pivotal moment for the firm," said Elden. "The team has built something exceptional—a multi-asset, advisor-centric platform that doesn't compromise on diligence, risk management, or client alignment. My focus will be on strengthening operational infrastructure, deepening our institutional partnerships, and ensuring that our advisory process remains as rigorous and disciplined as our investment philosophy."

Pragmatic Advisory's distinctive market position—anchored in operational expertise, a multi-asset investment framework, and institutional governance—continues to differentiate the firm from traditional RIA's. Under Elden's leadership, the firm will pursue strategic partnerships, operational enhancements, and market expansion opportunities that reinforce its current positioning.
