Our purpose is to redefine advice by equipping advisors with the service, process and technology to help clients make quality decisions that align their actions with desired outcomes.

Additionally, I am a Senior Advisor with My Next Season, supporting executives as they move into a meaningful retirement or a new career chapter, guiding them through the emotions, challenges and surprises that a transition can bring.Dedicated to the cause of eradicating cancer, I serve on the board of The V Foundation for Cancer Research and chair the board of Don\'t Ever Give Up, Inc.Previously, I served as Head of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management (20••••16), where I spearheaded the transition to a goals-based wealth management approach - an approach that placed client aspirations at the heart of financial planning, transforming how advisors deliver value.
