“Fusion has an outstanding track record and amazing potential as evidenced by their holistic growth,” Engel explained in a statement. “We believe this space is the next growth area, offering a true turnkey, technology-driven asset management platform. I am thrilled and excited to be part of the Fusion team as we continue accelerating forward.”
