SAN DIEGO, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Financial Advisors, LLC ("Pure") announces the addition of Eugene Elias, Jr to the Executive Team as President. In partnership with the Executive Team, Elias will have responsibility for designing and executing the strategic direction of the firm as it relates to Pure's continued growth and expansion. His focus will be on enhancing and elevating the client and advisor experience, optimization and scale of the operating environments, and the utilization of advanced technologies to drive growth. With more than 25 years of leading and running wealth management businesses, technology, and operations, Eugene has built his career around developing and strengthening organizations to differentiate in highly competitive environments and maximize their growth opportunities.
