HIFON (High Impact Financial Operations Network)
Have you ever left an operations roundtable wanting more discussion? More interaction? More advice and sharing of best practices?
After attending various workshops and conferences, that was the conclusion of Shaun Kapusinski, Director of Operations at Sequoia Financial Group in Akron, OH.
In 2010, Shaun formed what appears to be the industry’s first study group of operations professionals where the discussion that he and so many others craved, would carry on.
