Ms. Schnoll joined Goldman Sachs in 1999 and was named a managing director in 2013.
Additionally, FinLife CX will unveil a new, streamlined pricing structure to its clients. Based on the number of advisors using the system, the new structure clarifies the value the FinLife CX offers to clients, and aids advisors in maximizing their service and growth potential.
