BEN SEMAN - CLIENT SERVICES ASSOCIATE

I've always been interested in investing and how the decisions we make today can shape our lives down the track. What appeals to me most about financial planning is the freedom it can give people to spend more time doing what matters to them.

I spent nearly a decade in civil engineering, managing major infrastructure projects across regional Western Australia. I enjoyed the work but found myself becoming increasingly fascinated by financial markets over time. When reading about investing became my idea of a relaxing weekend, I figured a career change was probably in order.

So, I swapped the Pilbara for Perth, started postgraduate studies in financial planning, and joined HPH Solutions. I’m keen to learn from the team and put my engineering background to use in a new field. After years of building roads, I’m now looking forward to helping people find their own path to financial freedom.

When I’m not thinking about investing, I’m usually listening to obscure electronic music, dabbling in acoustic guitar, or indulging in the occasional bout of misplaced optimism about the West Coast Eagles’ premiership chances.
