“I’m excited to be joining a firm where I’ll have the opportunity to prioritize my clients’ best interests,” said Oddone. “Snowden Lane offers advisors the opportunity to operate with flexibility and freedom, without conflicts or pressure. The environment they have built presents endless opportunities for my clients to grow and achieve their financial goals, and I can’t wait to get started.”
