Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Build, Grow & Transact: $3.5B Cyndeo on Thinking Like a $25B Firm
Q: When did you decide to pursue a minority capital partner rather than a strategic acquisition, and what was your criteria for choosing Rise Growth Partners?
We wanted to continue to run the firm and not exit entirely, so a minority partner with wealth-management experience who understands our clients and the advisor side was essential. Rise offered the right language, governance alignment, and the ability to stay in control while gaining scale.
Lessons from the Links: From Golf Pro to $5B Family Office Partner
Q: How do you view the role of private equity and inorganic growth in this space?
The guest expresses cautious stance toward PE in their markets, preferring growth that directly benefits clients; acquisitions are considered only if they mirror their life-cycle approach and enhance client outcomes, otherwise they stay selective.
Lessons from the Links: From Golf Pro to $5B Family Office Partner
Q: What is Certuity's service model and how does it differ from a typical wirehouse setup?
Certuity operates as a nimble, in-house-enabled family-office platform with a strong emphasis on continuity of service, multi-generational client care, and a fiduciary framework that aligns with clients' goals, supported by a four-part partner team.
Lessons from the Links: From Golf Pro to $5B Family Office Partner
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the journey and what brought you here?
The guest explains growing up in a Greek immigrant family, discovering golf, and unexpectedly moving from professional sports to wealth management after an injury, ultimately embracing a fiduciary, client-first approach at Certuity.
