In this episode of In The Suite, I’m joined by Carina Diamond, CEO of GFP Private Wealth. Carina shares how she’s honoring the pioneering legacy of Sally Gries while boldly steering the firm into the future. From the power of rebranding to harnessing AI and building next-gen talent pipelines, Carina is a masterclass in leadership reinvention.

We talk about:

  • Why rebranding matters more than most firms admit
  • How to lead boldly without abandoning legacy
  • Why Carina believes AI is “here now” (not “coming”)
  • The importance of shaking things up—personally and professionally
  • The underestimated power of awards, speaking, and visibility
