Innovations PSI is proud to build and cultivate deep and long-lasting relationships with exceptional candidates. In our latest Innovations InView profile, we are excited to feature Amy DeTolla, Founder & CEO of Aureus Advantage. She is an entrepreneur and renowned wealth transformation leader with expertise in M&A strategy, wealth tech venture capital, and platform design and execution. Over 25 years ago, Amy DeTolla and Laura Kent, SVP of Innovations PSI, formed a connection that would expand and elevate Amy’s career opportunities. Laura placed Amy at Fidelity Investments in San Francisco, and she was quickly promoted several times to oversee branch operations. Several years later, Laura helped Amy secure a role at Advent Software. Early in her career, she gained valuable exposure to the wealth management and technology sector, and she credits much of her foundational success to Innovations’ opportunities. Amy’s powerful combination of finance and technology experience broadened her career aspirations and propelled her to obtain executive leadership roles, including serving as Chief Experience Officer at Connectus Wealth Advisers, where she created, co-founded and built the firm to $13 billion AUM in less than three years. She managed over 40 M&A transactions at Focus Financial Partners, and also held pivotal roles at Robertson Stephens, Barclays Global Investors and BlackRock. With decades of experience as a proven leader and connector in the wealth industry, Amy recently founded her own company, Aureus Advantage, a wealth transformation consortium. She believes that “people, process and platform” are the key tenets of transformational change. We are proud to work with extraordinary people such as Amy. Over the years, she has served both as a candidate and as a client who has hired talent from and referred many clients to Innovations. We are thrilled to see her achieve her career goals and look forward to her continued success. For almost 4 decades, Innovations PSI has helped launch and positively impact thousands of careers, and we look forward to continuing to deliver results for years to come.

Many of our candidates have been asking: Why is it taking so long to find a job right now? The job supply and demand swings are constantly shifting. These days, the hiring cycle is taking more time. This is not the typical job market you’re used to and it’s likely not because of you. These four behaviors consistently payoff, especially in this market: • Feel good about yourself – At times, job seekers may feel self-doubt, so it’s important to stay mentally and emotionally motivated throughout the job search. Find joy in doing what you love in your spare time. Have a success mindset, stay confident, and continue to let your personality shine when you communicate with prospective employers. • Tap into your network – Build and reconnect with your relationships and let people know you are looking for a job. Friends and colleagues who have first-hand experience seeing your skills and strong work ethic are some of your best advocates. Listen to their insights. Word of mouth is a powerful tool. • Build your skill set - If you have free time, take training courses and learn new skills that enhance your resume and demonstrate your tenacity to stay current. There are many free online courses available to learn new tools or brush up on skills that can help you compete in a new role. • Be patient – These days, the process can be slow and you might not hear anything for several days/weeks. Setting that expectation makes it easier to accept that it may take more time. Remember that each small step in the process eventually will lead to the perfect role. Be diligent in setting up your plan and not losing hope. It will pay off. #jobsearch #hiring #jobmarket #innovations

We are thrilled to see Innovations PSI’s candidates achieve their long-term career goals. We are proud to launch Innovations InView, a new series featuring members of our professional talent network who share their inspiring career success stories. It’s immensely rewarding to reunite with Kara Gustafson, one of Innovations PSI’s former placement candidates. Over twenty years ago, Innovations PSI both hired her and then placed her at Goldman Sachs – one of our premier clients in San Francisco – where she spent 15 years at the firm, eventually moving to the Office of the CEO. Our placement at Goldman in 2003 set the path for Kara’s future career in the Financial Services industry. She ultimately became part of the founding leadership team responsible for launching Goldman’s Corporate Engagement and Impact Investing business in 2008, which invested over $2 billion of philanthropic and impact capital in inclusive growth initiatives globally.    Over the course of 20+ years, Kara has built a successful career, leading key Corporate Sustainability and Philanthropic functions for institutions such as the The Aspen Institute and SoulCycle Inc., and numerous non-profit organizations. We are so very proud of Kara and her accomplishments.   For almost 4 decades, Innovations PSI has helped launch and positively impact thousands of careers, and we look forward to continuing to deliver results for years to come.
