“My new role as Chairman will allow me to step out of day-to-day operations and form an Advisory Board that has experience scaling firms like FarWell. It’s important for us to get outside perspectives, especially now that we have exited “start-up” mode. We have become a much larger firm.” said Potter. “I’ll continue to regularly meet with FarWell leadership to align on– and support– FarWell’s vision and strategy.”
