I've been in the health and well-being space for 30 years (longer if you count my undergraduate degree in nutrition), and I am certain I've never met anyone quite like Wais Achikzad, who is uniquely positioned and qualified to help financial professionals. ...

I worked with Wais at JPM Prime Finance while he was team lead of Global Interest & Financing. One of the immediate achievements that impressed me was how quickly he built relationships with the various areas of the business. He is a highly skilled and dedicated leader that is able to lead and retain talent. Most importantly he is an all-around great human being that truly cares for his team and being a dependable mentor.

Wais was my manager and the best manager I've had in my career. His emotional intelligence, leadership and power to bring together a national team is unparalleled. Wais not only pushed me to grow and develop, he did and does this in his business/personal endeavors. He leads by example and wants the best for you as a person and employee of an organization. Wais understands how to be a leader and empower people who report up to him to be the best version of themselves. I have never met a stronger leader in my career within financial services and human resources.
