Over the last two years Steward has welcomed several high-powered executives to their board including Stephen Key, Former CFO of ConAgra and Textron, who joined in early 2015 and Janet Robinson, Former CEO of The New York Times Company, who joined in late 2014.

I am grateful to Liz and our other board directors for the confidence they have shown in us through their commitment to Steward Partners," adds Mr. Maurer.

"I've worked with many business leaders and executives in the global financial services arena and the partners at Steward are among the best in the business," says Fisher. "What's really impressive about Steward is that they have executed masterfully on a model that brings back the classic Wall Street partnership.  In a time where recruiting and talent acquisition has slowed at many firms, Steward has posted unparalleled results."

"Liz's depth and broad knowledge of the financial services industry enhances our board makeup," says Michael McMahon, Steward's board chair. "Her level of expertise compliments the high-caliber experience of our other members which when viewed collectively, is exactly what we want to enhance our hyper growth strategy. "

Liz Fisher recently launched her own consulting and executive coaching business, working with executive teams and senior leaders on developing better communications and leadership practices. Prior, she was a partner and head of the global Financial Services Practice at Spencer Stuart with extensive experience serving corporate clients, including Private Equity backed firms. She has worked with numerous executive teams, as well as boards of directors, in advising them on recruiting and retaining top talent.  Prior to joining Spencer Stuart, she was president and CEO of BrownCo, a subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management Group, and had additional responsibility for JPMorgan's defined contribution business. Before joining JPMorgan, she was an executive vice president with Fidelity Investments in Boston, where her responsibilities included product management and marketing for institutional and intermediary clients. Previously, she was with Union Bank of California in Los Angeles, where she was CEO of the brokerage subsidiary. She has a Bachelor of Science in marketing from Boston College.

Steward Partner's evolutionary model known as The Full-Service Independent Partnership™, was launched as Steward Partners Global Advisory (SPGA) in late fall of 2013, focused primarily on the east coast. SPGA is further strengthened through a strategic association with the global powerhouse, Raymond James Financial Services. Steward's "Elite Hybrid" model gained national attention by attracting high-end advisors into several markets in less than three years.  Steward Partners now has two other companies, Steward Partners Investment Advisory (SPIA) and Steward Partners Consulting Solutions (SPCS).
