Two new advisors have also joined Unitive's ranks; Laura Liswood, formerly a Senior Advisor for Goldman Sachs, and Juanita Lott, Chief Human Resources Officer and Executive Vice President at Epicor, and former CEO of Bridgestream.

"Our new team members' respective experience driving operational excellence is a huge advantage to Unitive as we rapidly expand," said Laura Mather, founder and CEO of Unitive. "I'm delighted by the level of talent and value they bring to the table during this exciting period of growth."
