Before serving as managing director of wealth management consultancy Sunstone Partners, Wang spent six years as head of group strategy and group chief operating officer at Perpetual Limited.

Before that, Wang spent four years as a management consultant in the wealth management area at Bain and Company, advising a range of Australian and international businesses.
