A Data-Driven Approach to High-Impact Results with Russ D’Argento Beyond The Ordinary

The private wealth industry is growing rapidly. As new opportunities arise, how can private family offices focus their efforts on bringing high-impact results to their businesses?
In today’s episode, Tommy talks with Russ D’Argento, Founder and CEO at FINTRX.
Wanting to bridge the gap between portfolio managers and family offices, Russ utilized his expertise in taking fragmented data, pulling it into a single resource, and organizing an algorithm that is very actionable and understandable. What started as a simple idea has now become one of the most important and dynamic data intelligence platforms for the financial industry.
