Jarl Smidt-Olsen

Chartered Financial Analyst

Introducing Jarl

I spent 20 years in capital markets investment banking before moving into fintech and angel investing. Over time, I took on CFO responsibilities across several portfolio companies, which naturally steered me toward financial planning.

My approach is cautious by nature; I like to look closely at the risks and help clients consider the full picture before making big decisions. I enjoy being a sounding board, especially when the stakes are high or the path ahead isn’t clear. For me, good planning means asking the right questions, not just following the crowd.

Outside work, I’m usually with my family – hiking, swimming, or playing tennis in India. At Christmas, you’ll find me snowboarding in Japan with my boys.

The proudest moment of my career was:

Earlier in my career, I closed a tri-partite long-term savings plan deal with Generali and Vontobel in Austria. It was a complex process with a lot of moving parts, so bringing all sides together felt like a real achievement.

The three things I love most about my job are:

Firstly, the people I work with, who are smart, supportive, and committed. I also enjoy seeing the direct impact of what I do, and helping Saltoro Capital offer a better, stronger service to our clients.

The types of people I most enjoy working with are:

I enjoy working with international people who are intelligent, open-minded, and curious. The best conversations come from different perspectives.
