To Diane Johnston, the why of a journey lies within the fabric of a story. She believes that much can be uncovered to help navigate a plan, family or business through the waters of opportunity by listening and discovery.
As a UBS Institutional Consultant and nearly 30-year veteran of the markets, Diane embraces the why of how a person’s story got them to today before formulating any guidance. She uses a highly personalized discovery process to unearth beliefs, heuristics and interconnectedness to past and future outcomes. Her advice centers on elevating the ethos of a mission or a goal, or both. Whether she is working with an investment committee, entrepreneur or a family, a sound mission becomes her beacon for advice.
The nucleus of your team
Diane founded The Excelsior Consulting Team with UBS because she wanted her clients to be connected to the vast, global resources that UBS Financial Services Inc. has to offer. The Excelsior Consulting Team acts as the nucleus to a network of not only thought leaders and institutional investors, but art lovers, philanthropists, family office resources, ERISA experts and innovation drivers, to name a few.
Together the Excelsior Consulting Team and our extended network of experts have the navigational skills to create an elegant plan that integrates your why and serves as the lighthouse for your assets. Capital, after all, is much greater than dollars—and to achieve financial success, it must include human and emotional capital as well.
