How do you define your job? I consult with clients to help them recreate experiences for advisors and investors with a focus on automation, integration, collaboration and efficiency.
To that end, I work with strategic clients and their advisors to understand their goals for digital transformation and educate them on emerging technology trends, the impact those trends are having on the wealth management business, and how they can leverage technology to solve business challenges and transform.
I am passionate about technology and its potential to help advisors redefine their value, evolve their business models and engage with investors in new ways.
