THE COO ROUNDTABLE
PODCAST
THE COO ROUNDTABLE WITH MATT SONNEN
PFI Advisors has launched a new podcast featuring COOs and operations leaders from large RIAs around the country. With this podcast we will create an open discussion about operational and technology best practices, as well as general business strategy for the RIA industry. We hope to shed light on the trememdously important work COOs perform on a daily basis. We believe no RIA can successfully execute an organic or inorganic growth stretegy without competent professional management in place.
Join host Matt Sonnen and a panel of COOs, as they share insight on M&A, HR, Technology, and much more. Subscribe below to listen to our latest episode now!
