Aaron Klein, founder and former long-time CEO of Nitrogen-formerly Riskalyze, has joined technology consultancy Ezra Group as an executive in residence.
Klein, who stepped down as Nitrogen's CEO at the end of 2023, remains on the company's board of directors and also sits on the boards of Snappy Kraken and the Mountain States Policy Center.
He too joined wealthtech startup Fynancial in January as a strategic advisor. Financial is building what the company refers to as a “Social Financial Platform” for the wealth management industry.
Dan Zitting, a B2B entrepreneur, succeeded Klein as CEO of Nitrogen in December.
While salary for the Ezra Group position was not disclosed, Klein will use his years of experience developing the Riskalyze and Nitrogen business lines, integration efforts and industry knowledge “to provide strategic guidance, thought leadership and mentorship to the team of the firm's consultants and clients,” said a prepared statement.
Klein was named CEO of the Year at the 2023 WealthManagement.com Industry Awards, among other industry accolades during his career.
Nitrogen has grown over the years from a risk measurement and profiling tool and expanded into many other areas including trading, rebalancing and marketing automation and later tax loss harvesting and home office management tools, among other offers.
It was just over 11 years ago that Klein released Riskalyze's first paid Pro product for financial advisors in 2012. He launched the company in 2011, offering a free risk measurement and analysis tool for investors.
