She joins CogniCor's transformed Board to advise on the company's strategic planning and growth initiatives.

Prior to co-founding Beacon Pointe, she served as Senior Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Roxbury Capital Management.

CogniCor's platform gives wealth management firms a way to address three trends creating an inflection point in the industry: a shortage of financial advisors relative to demand, the retirement of up to 40% of experienced advisors over the next decade, and a growing number of affluent households eager and able to pay for advice. The platform unifies disparate data across a firm's tech stack, capturing client conversations, aggregating data across systems, and orchestrating next-best actions so RIAs can scale advisor capacity without sacrificing personalization or trust.
"Having a leader of Shannon's stature and expertise on our Advisory Board adds a new dimension and a unique perspective to our firm for years to come," said Dr. Sindhu Joseph, CEO and Co-Founder of CogniCor. "I've long admired her career, and I've also had the opportunity to know her as a customer through Beacon Pointe's partnership with CogniCor. Shannon has a well-earned reputation as a visionary, innovative, and deeply respected leader—the right voice at the right time as we shape the next chapter of our company. Our mission extends beyond helping advisors make faster or more efficient decisions. We are building the intelligence and orchestration layer that unifies fragmented data, coordinates actions across the wealth ecosystem, and enables every advisor to deliver highly personalized advice with consistency, scale, and confidence."
"I understand where our industry is heading, and CogniCor has consistently been ahead of the curve in recognizing how AI can help advisors serve more clients without sacrificing the quality or personalization of their advice," said Eusey. "What convinced me is a team with real AI depth and years actually lived inside wealth management—thinking as hard about how intelligence fits into an RIA's existing world as they have about the intelligence itself. That matters because fragmented AI and fragmented data create fragmented decisions. CogniCor unifies fragmented data into a single intelligence and orchestration layer, transforming it into coordinated intelligence and orchestrated action across households, advisor practices, and the firm. That's what transforms AI from a feature into trusted infrastructure, and it's why I'm excited to help scale the platform and expand its impact across the wealth management industry."
