WHY THIS HIRE MATTERS
The SolomonEdwards Standard
“We are highly selective about who we add at the Principal level,
because that title means something at SolomonEdwards.
We pursue operator-level talent: people who have sat inside the most complex institutions in the world, made consequential decisions, and earned the trust of clients and regulators alike. Prescott is that person. Candidates like Prescott don’t come along often, and when they do, we don’t hesitate.”
