@Max Winthrop : 我是Winthrop Wealth的CEO,我们主要服务于高净值客户,资产规模在500万到2500万美元之间。我们公司有近40年的历史,最初由我的父亲和叔叔创立。我加入公司后,致力于将家族企业转型为更规范的企业结构,这其中面临着许多挑战,因为成功的顾问通常不愿轻易改变现有的运作模式。 在人员方面,我们注重功能问责制,确保每个岗位都有明确的责任人,避免责任分散。我们也重视团队成员的热情和特质,我们相信‘古怪很重要’,鼓励员工展现真实的自我。 在流程方面,我们注重集中化管理,例如投资组合管理和客户服务都是集中化的。这提高了效率,也使我们能够快速响应市场变化。 在技术方面,我们大力投资技术和AI,这极大地提高了我们的运营效率。我们使用CRM系统、交易系统和Adapar等工具,实现了数据整合和自动化,这使得顾问能够专注于与客户的互动,而不是繁琐的行政工作。我们也正在探索AI的应用,例如Einstein Activity Capture,以进一步提高效率。 我们面临的最大挑战之一是人才招聘,如何吸引和培养年轻一代的财富顾问是行业面临的一个重要问题。 @Allison Tucci : 作为访谈者,我主要负责引导Max Winthrop阐述其在家族企业转型、技术应用、AI战略以及人才培养等方面的经验和见解。我通过提问,引导Max Winthrop分享了他对公司核心价值观、客户细分、流程优化、技术选择以及AI应用等方面的思考,并深入探讨了这些策略如何帮助Winthrop Wealth实现持续增长和发展。

“I think people inherently have quirks and sometimes we seek to hide those quirks because we want to put up a professional facade,” says Max Winthrop, CEO of Winthrop. “I like to joke around and I think that also makes me approachable.”
