Lori Hardwick left her job as president at AI Labs after deciding that broader horizons working as a consultant don't necessarily mean leading a shallower existence.
"I was always worried about the cyclicality. It seemed like empty work," she says. But it's been just the opposite.
What made consulting seem more fulfilling were the kinds of gigs she was offered -- namely a handful of ones of a year or more in duration that draw pay from long-term retainers.
Riskalyze is boosting its leadership with a couple of well-known industry veterans in an effort to grow the technology's presence among larger wealth management firms. Lori Hardwick, best known for being one of the original partners of Envestnet, will become chairwoman of Riskalyze's board of directors. She's currently a member of the board. Drew DiMarino, a former head of sales for eMoney Advisor, will join Riskalyze as its executive vice president of sales next month. Although Riskalyze began as a digital client risk assessment tool, the company now offers portfolio analytics, automated trading and a model marketplace.
Riskalyze today announced that it has named Drew DiMarino as Executive Vice President of Sales, and Lori Hardwick as Chairman.
DiMarino joins the company's Senior Leadership Team to lead the firm's sales organization. Hardwick, a Riskalyze board member for over a year, is expanding her role with the firm to help guide its strategy for serving wealth management enterprises. DiMarino was Head of Sales at eMoney Advisor and joined the company in 2010. He led the company's sales efforts that built the firm prior to its acquisition by Fidelity, and also dramatically increased eMoney's growth post-acquisition as a part of the broader Fidelity organization. Most recently, he led sales and marketing at Apiture, a cloud platform for banks and credit unions.

My co-founder Neil Larkins and I worked together in a previous business – Reflex Magnetics which eventually sold to Check Point in 2006. Our focus at that time had been protecting data on removable media (USBs and CDs), and after leaving Check Point, we looked at the market and saw that increasingly people were using email to share these types of data. We founded Egress in 2007 as an email encryption vendor and over the last 12 years, we’ve extended our product platform to cover other forms of data transfer, including online collaboration and the need to easily send very large files securely.
