Sophisticated advisors and business owners alike trust Louis when seeking counsel and clarity on the next phase in their careers, the ever-changing industry landscape, inorganic growth or launching independent businesses.
He has guided many of the top teams in the industry as they’ve transitioned to another employee-model firm or launched RIA firms. And as a next generation leader for Diamond Consultants, Louis has a first-hand understanding of the needs and requirements of complex multi-generational teams.

After graduating magna cum laude with a BBA degree in Finance and International Business from George Washington University, Louis began his career with some of the biggest names in the financial services industry. Working as a consultant at Ernst & Young, and in wealth management at Morgan Stanley and UBS, prepared him to understand the financial world from a client’s perspective.
