Expanding Leadership Vision and Commitment to Excellence
Louis Diamond’s long tenure with Diamond Consultants, including leadership as President since 2021, uniquely positions him to lead the firm forward.

This year, Louis also spearheaded the creation of Diamond Consultants Executive Search Partners, a service that leverages the firm's extensive industry connections to assist businesses in addressing crucial personnel gaps. His background in financial services, gained through roles at Morgan Stanley and UBS, coupled with consulting experience at Ernst & Young, enhances his capacity as a thought leader in the sector.
Alongside him, Jason Diamond steps into the role of President, bringing four years of experience from previous roles, including Executive Vice President and Senior Consultant. He will oversee client relationships and internal operations while continuing to express thought leadership by guiding the development of key reports and resources for the firm. His insights from positions in Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley provide him with a solid foundation to understand advisor needs and client expectations.
