Our New York City team just kicked off the volunteering season at Brooklyn’s McCarren Park with GrowNYC, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering New Yorkers with equitable access to locally grown food. GrowNYC has established over 160 community gardens across the city, including GreenThumb gardens, and spaces in public housing developments, churches, daycares, and senior centers. Our team assembled and stained benches for the park's community garden, where local residents have space to plant and harvest food. We're grateful to GrowNYC for hosting us and to all who volunteered. We look forward to more community events in the future! #Volunteering #Community #NewYorkCity #Brooklyn

An engaged workplace is essential to building a thriving business and a high-performance culture. Yet, research shows that many employees across North America feel actively disengaged in their jobs. At Alpine, we believe in creating exceptional workplaces where employees can live a more purpose-driven life and realize their full potential. We’re dedicated to creating a work environment where everyone feels engaged and aligned with the company’s mission. While private equity has not historically been known for strong cultures, Alpine has been working to change that narrative since its start in 2001.

Should you hire for attributes or experience? Our Founder and CEO, Graham Weaver, explains why we focus on hiring high-attribute individuals. “This was one of the most powerful concepts we had in our business.” At Alpine, we believe that once the high-attribute professionals with limited experience pass the initial learning curve, their growth trajectory will soon surpass the low-attribute but high-experience professionals. Graham also explains how this principle applies to your life, career, and passions.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Aspen Standard Wealth, a business that serves as a permanent home and long-term partner for successful Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs).

Known for delivering deeply personalized financial planning and investment strategies, Summitry will now benefit from Aspen’s differentiated focus on long-term, stable ownership—an approach designed to foster growth without the pressure of eventual resale or transition. “When I met the team at Aspen, it was clear that they were different. They care about growing our people, continuing to build on top of the foundation that our team has built, and helping us deliver more for our clients,” said Colin Higgins, CEO of Summitry. “Summitry embodies everything we seek in a partner: growth-oriented, client-obsessed, and people-focused,” said Aly Kassim-Lakha, CEO of Aspen.
