Start Slideshow

To honor the top financial advisors and firms moving the industry forward in our LUMINARIES recognition program, we assembled a team of 17 industry experts to serve as our 2023 awards judges. Their careers encompass leadership excellence and innovation across a wide variety of firms and organizations in financial services.

These 17 experts (up from 12 in 2022) are in the process of reviewing the LUMINARIES Class of 2023 Finalists in four award categories: Community Impact; Executive Leadership; Financial & Investment Innovation; and Thought Leadership & Education.

The winners will be announced on stage at the program’s third awards dinner and gala — set to take place Nov. 28 in New York at Gotham Hall.

An evolution of our Broker-Dealers of the Year awards, the LUMINARIES program is now in its third year. It aims to highlight how top-performing industry participants — both firms and individuals — produce meaningful results through efforts that matter to advisors.

The 2023 LUMINARIES judges, featured in this gallery, give generously of their time by helping ThinkAdvisor highlight the many dynamic and inclusive ways a select group of individuals and firms are driving the wealth, investment and retirement industry forward. The ThinkAdvisor team is grateful to them and to all the LUMINARIES nominees for their support of this pioneering awards program.
