As Chief Client Officer of Focus Financial Partners, Tony brings a firm-wide client perspective to the company's strategy, capabilities, and service delivery. Working across the enterprise, he helps ensure the voice of the client remains at the center of decision-making while strengthening the connection between the advisor experience, the client experience, and the capabilities Focus continues to build in support of both.

Tony co‑founded SCS in 2002 with a clear vision, to build a deeply integrated, client‑aligned firm designed to support the full scope of a family’s financial needs. Since transitioning into the CEO role in 2019, he has focused on guiding the firm’s overall vision, strategy, and culture. While leading SCS’s continued evolution, Tony remains closely connected to clients, advising families across generations on the complex financial decisions that shape their lives.
