SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SigFig, which powers a comprehensive set of interconnected digital wealth solutions for advisors and clients, today announced that Steven Mattus, a wealth management veteran of more than 30 years, is joining the company in the new role of Chief Investment Officer and General Manager of Digital Wealth. Steve joins SigFig most recently from UBS. He was previously at both Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank in Managing Director roles.
“We are delighted to welcome Steve and look forward to his leadership as the company enters the next stage of growth,” said Mike Sha, CEO and Co-founder, SigFig. “Steve uniquely brings a breadth of industry expertise and knowledge combined with first-hand insight on where the industry is heading. While at UBS, Steve was one of our key strategic partners and is deeply aware of the pain points for financial advisors that our technology solves. He will be instrumental in overseeing client portfolio strategies as we continue to scale, add new partners and make strategic investments in AI to help advisors become more effective.”
“Many wealth managers have been relying on the same processes for decades, but the fintech sector and SigFig in particular has been rapidly innovating to change that,” said Steve Mattus, Chief Investment Officer and GM of Digital Wealth at SigFig. “Banks just aren’t equipped to build the same technology solutions as quickly or as well as fintechs—but together they make great partners. Having worked with SigFig for some time, I am confident that the company is well positioned for high growth and greater market share, and am pleased to join the team.”
Prior to UBS, Mattus was Managing Director, Head of Global Products and Solutions - Americas at Deutsche Bank and also spent more than 20 years at Credit Suisse where he held a number of senior management positions, including Head of Private Banking Assets & Investments for the Americas.

As Chief Investment Officer, Mattus will lead SigFig’s investment strategy, style and policies. As General Manager of SigFig’s Digital Wealth Platform, he will oversee the company’s suite of software solutions including SigFig Digital Advice and SigFig Digital Advice Pro, powering the more than $50 billion assets on the SigFig platform.
