Why We’re Partnering with Mark Bagnall to Modernize the Foundations of Wealth

The Wealth sector is at a turning point. Client expectations are rising. Regulation is tightening. And yet, many institutions remain bound by inflexible cores built for a different era.

At Light Frame, we believe a modern Wealth stack starts with a modular, event-driven core - purpose-built to support the complexity and nuance of Private Banking. But modernizing that foundation requires more than technology. It requires deep fluency in the operating reality of banks today.

That’s why we’re proud to welcome Mark Bagnall as an advisor to Light Frame.

A rare combination: deep tech fluency and private banking leadership

Mark is no stranger to the complexities of core transformation. He’s held senior technology and operational roles — CTO, COO — at leading Swiss private banks. He’s led large-scale system upgrades, navigated vendor transitions, and stewarded change inside highly regulated, high-stakes environments.

In short, Mark knows the ledger. But he also knows the boardroom.

His ability to bridge business goals with architectural realities makes him a uniquely valuable partner as we build for the next generation of Wealth institutions.

“Private Banking is entering its platform era,” said Mark. “Light Frame’s architecture reflects that shift—and positions institutions to serve clients with greater agility, transparency, and trust.”

Thought partnership that sharpens our edge

Mark has already been a close thought partner to our team. From product design to go-to-market strategy, he’s helped us pressure-test decisions through the lens of someone who’s sat on the other side of the table—and knows what success looks like.

“Mark knows where the industry is headed—and what’s been holding it back,” said Schuyler Weiss, Light Frame Co-Founder and CEO. “His counsel is already accelerating our pace and sharpening our strategy.”

Shaping what’s next

We’re building for institutions that want to lead—not lag—the next era of Wealth. That means getting the core right: composable, real-time, and built to flex as the landscape shifts.

Mark’s guidance helps us get there faster—and smarter.

We’re glad to have him with us.

More to come.
