“It's such an honor to be recognized as the Executive of the Year and join the ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Class of 2024,” said Li. “This has been a pivotal year for Advyzon, marked by the launch of our community-driven conference, the recognition of AIM’s Nucleus Model Marketplace, and the natural extension of our platform to serve Enterprise and Institutional firms. We've also forged new partnerships and integrations, all while staying focused on our mission to transform the advisor experience through a single platform with a single data model and single source code.”

In addition to winning the Executive of the Year Award, Advyzon was also named a Luminaries Finalist for the Unified (All-in-One) Systems Firm Award in Innovation, highlighting Advyzon’s comprehensive platform for wealth management professionals.
