🎙️ @alimotroni
In this episode of The Hopeful Pioneers, Ali sits down with Jolyne Caruso-FitzGerald—Chair of Align Impact’s Board, former UBS Vice Chair, and a powerful advocate for women and next-gen leadership.
Jolyne reflects on four decades in finance, from the early days of hedge funds to advising billionaire family offices today. She shares her front-row insights on the great wealth transfer, the evolving role of financial advisors, and why family legacies must be built on intention, not just inheritance.
You’ll hear about:
* The professionalization of family offices—and where they’re headed
* How women are shifting the private wealth landscape
* The future of wealth advisory in the age of AI
* Why impact investing isn’t a trend—it’s the future
* And what it looks like to pass the baton across generations
This conversation is a powerful reminder that legacy isn’t just about what we leave behind—it’s about how we show up now.
Listen now and join the conversation about what’s possible when we steward power with purpose, invest in the next generation, and treat legacy as something we live—not just something we leave.
