Saturn Hires Avenir Co-founder Andrea MacDonald as Partner
Andrea MacDonald has joined Saturn, the AI technology company transforming financial advice by slashing the cost to serve clients, as a partner in the partnership team.
As co-founder and chief commercial officer at Avenir, Andrea worked closely with adviser firms to build AI tools that reshaped their operations, establishing a strong track record in transforming adviser workflows.
As part of the partnership team, she will work closely with adviser firms to embed Saturn’s AI solutions, helping them streamline processes, boost efficiency and deliver high quality, compliant advice at scale. Working with Saturn’s product and engineering teams Andrea will also ensure new AI capabilities are designed around the real needs of advisers.
MacDonald’s appointment comes after Saturn raised $15m in a Series A funding round in October.

Andrea added: “I’m excited to join Saturn at such a pivotal moment for the industry. AI has huge potential to improve the experience advisers can offer their clients, freeing up more time for the conversations that really matter. I’m looking forward to working with firms to bring that vision to life and to help them create better, more human client journeys.”
Andrea joins the company as it accelerates its drive to make high quality, human led financial advice accessible to everyone. Saturn’s AI technology lightens the compliance burden for advisers, freeing their time and empowering them to support more clients at a lower cost.
