Modern American Advisor launched the Operate to Scale initiative by Ana M. Marques to help founders and leadership teams identify structural constraints and turn them into practical operating change.

Modern American Advisor is a media, leadership, and growth platform built for the future of financial services. We connect financial advisors, wealth managers, RIAs, fintech leaders, executives, and industry partners with the ideas, relationships, technology, and opportunities shaping what comes next. Through our digital and print publications, podcasts, newsletters, executive interviews, research, and original content, we deliver insight on leadership, wealth management, practice growth, AI, technology, succession, marketing, client experience, and innovation. Beyond media, we bring together education, strategic partnerships, exclusive events, and executive communities that help financial professionals grow their businesses, expand their influence, and lead through change. Our initiatives include: • Private Members Club: Executive networking, curated introductions, premium partner benefits, invitation-only experiences, and leadership programming. • Women in Finance: Leadership development, visibility, and executive education designed to advance women across financial services. • Build to a Billion: Conversations and programming focused on the strategies, leadership, and innovation behind scaling exceptional advisory firms and financial enterprises. • AI Initiatives: Practical education, events, and partnerships exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming advice, operations, marketing, compliance, productivity, and client engagement. • Executive Salons: Curated conversations with influential leaders from financial services, technology, business, media, sports, and entrepreneurship.
