With a solid background in executive search and recruiting, I came well prepared for my role at Diamond Consultants. As one of Diamond’s first hires, I coupled my experience in the recruiting world with that of the financial world, helping the organization grow to become one of the top financial advisor recruiting firms in the country.Since joining the firm in 2003, I have expertly guided some of the industry’s leading advisors and teams, providing them with a thorough understanding of the landscape while always listening and having their best interests at heart.My experience is exemplified by the wide variety of individual advisors and teams that I have built relationships with. Advisors from wirehouses, regional firms, boutiques and the bank channel, who are looking to change jerseys or break away, count on my in-depth knowledge and perspective to guide them. Independent advisors who are weighing broker dealer/RIA options or M&A transactions are confidently counseled, receiving a complete education on the options available to them.I also share my thoughts and expertise on social media and Diamond’s blog for financial advisors.A graduate from University of Tampa with a BS in business management, I completed post-graduate work in personnel management at NYU.I have two sons, one is in law school and the other one is a freshman in college. In my spare time, I love the beach, animals, music and traveling.Questions for me? You can call or text me, with complete confidentiality, at 📞973-479-4733.
