Garret brings a legacy of managing €26 billion in assets to a firm currently overseeing portfolios for 1,500 families. His appointment is a strategic play for RockFi, which launched in 2024 and is aggressively targeting €1 billion in assets under advisory by 2026, with an long-term goal of hitting €10 billion by 2030.

Beyond his advisory role, Garret will lead the firm’s charitable efforts, focusing on mental health initiatives and integrating philanthropy into the service offerings for high-net-worth clients. For RockFi CEO Pierre Marin, the hire serves as a validation of the firm’s tech-forward approach to private banking. Garret’s career, spanning roles at Deutsche Bank and Banque Indosuez, adds institutional weight to the startup’s ambition to disrupt the French wealth management sector before eyeing broader European expansion.
