Well Crafted Wealth
The culmination of a 3 year effort to disrupt the Fin-Tech and Financial Services Industry, now a part of an Innovation Lab. This multi-pronged effort worked with both B2B and B2C collaborators. On the consumer side, leveraging multiple technologies and methods to drive consumer interest in strategic financial products, lower the cost of acquisition of customers for advisors in a heavily regulated industry. On the B2B side, increasing compliance with brokers and service providers, while re-activating existing contacts.
