Deviate had a great time at the 2025 FOX Family Office & Wealth Advisor Forum in Chicago. We were able to catch up with clients, colleagues, and friends, as well as participate in a panel discussion on Optimizing Technology: Best Practices for Selection, Implementation, and Outsourcing. Another great event!

Erin Hulse’s 10 Unexpected Years of Consulting Family Offices on Tech
Deviate News
Time flies when you’re having fun. We are celebrating Deviate’s 10-year anniversary, and throughout summer, we’re spotlighting some of our amazing team members that have been part of the journey.

WendyMcCoy’s career has been centered around technology to improve efficiency and outcomes across a wide range of industries and practical applications. In her day-to-day, user-centered design and design-focused thinking ensure that what she does for clients fully addresses the right problems and the highest success in the finish line to solutions.

Joann Penner has shifted from one side of the desk as an accountant, controller, and supervisor of financial teams to the other side of wealth tech, implementing accounting software and workflows. The efficiency and use of automation in the accounting cycle drives Joann’s passion and provides her with a great source of accomplishment.

Allie Gray’s expertise has been a fantastic addition to our team this year, helping Deviate’s clients navigate the Archway system. Previously, she worked for nearly seven years at SEI Archway on the Client Relations team and has since become an Archway System Consultant, helping groups like Deviate and our clients understand the software more thoroughly.
