Why a $525B wealth manager put his headquarters in Miami: “If you think about it with a totally clean slate, where do you want the headquarters for the business ultimately to be? I picked Miami.” “I think we're still in the early days of what we'll see in South Florida.” “We were by no means a pioneer of moving to Miami. But we were a little bit early relative to the flood of movement that’s happened on the back of us.” — Corient CEO Kurt MacAlpine

Reading Nancy’s articles is a must. not only is she incredibly plugged into everything that’s happening in the Miami ecosystem, in every given moment, but she is fundamentally a great and positive writer about our story. I wish every journalist was like her. I miss @rjwile too! So many can learn from these two!
