Joseph Caruso Took a Year Off Before Law School. Thirty-One Years Later, He’s Still Counting Votes.
A detour before law school became a career spent decoding the machinery behind corporate democracy. Now the Alliance Advisors co-founder wants public companies to know who owns them - and to speak to those owners before the ballots arrive.
Daniel Naim
Daniel Naim is the founder and CEO of Fennel, a mobile investing app that hands everyday retail investors the ESG data and shareholder-voting power that big institutions usually keep to themselves. A former dark-matter physicist who grew up in Beirut and earned a physics PhD at UC Davis, Naim left the lab in 2020 - watching California burn and Engine No. 1 win an Exxon board fight - convinced that capital markets, not particle detectors, were the most pressing problem he could work on. Fennel refuses payment for order flow, won't lend out users' shares, became a certified B Corp, and was named one of Fast Company's most innovative companies in personal finance.
