Intro

About this episode…

What does it take to build and sustain a $4B enterprise within a broker dealer ecosystem?

For most advisors, that kind of scale might seem out of reach. But Peter Tiboris and his partners at Park Avenue Capital have done just that—reimagining what a fully integrated, high-performing advisory business can look like within the Northwestern Mutual network.

At Park Avenue Capital, Pete and his team have created a structure that balances both organic and inorganic growth, guided by a clear philosophy: focus on people, process, and client experience. From building an advisor pod system that doubles advisor capacity to hiring a former general manager from St. Regis Hotels to elevate every client interaction, Pete has turned operational excellence into a competitive advantage.

Pete joins Louis Diamond in this episode to discuss all that, plus:

• Building a business at Northwestern Mutual—and why it’s still the right home for Park Avenue Capital.
• The upfront work around creating a business designed to scale—and how that’s allowed them to grow organically in ways that few advisory firms can.
• Their corporate philosophy—and how the lens of culture, fit, and client alignment influences their work.
• Their approach to acquisitions—and why some of their best decisions involved walking away from opportunities.
• Their “hyper-focus on the client experience”—and how it fuels their incredible growth.

Plus, Pete shares why he still considers Park Avenue Capital “a startup at heart.”

It’s a rare look inside a $4B firm—and a fascinating conversation about scale, leadership, and how the right design can fuel extraordinary growth even within an independent broker dealer model.
