Our co-founder and CEO @Phil Fiore, Jr. was featured in Barron’s discussing what it meant for him and his co-founders to launch Procyon in 2017.

Phil shared how both the minority stake model and AI are impacting our firm’s capabilities and growth opportunities.

“We want our talent to perform at the highest levels. In order for them to do that, they need to have proper tools to execute at the speed and quality that they need to. As a firm, our role is to anticipate these needs, equipping our talent with the tools and support them to succeed,” he shared.
