COURTNEY ALTEMUS

Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Advance | CEO & Founder, TeamAltemus

Courtney is an unbiased consultant and educator to athletes. As a former Wall Street executive, she brings decades of expertise and experience in helping athletes reach their financial goals and manage their money. Now, as an objective and independent consultant, instead of managing assets, she educates athletes about all things financial, helps clients vet and monitor their advisors and prepares them for their future.

Courtney brings a unique and valuable skill set of extensive study and experience in finance and human behavior. She believes the two are inextricably linked and both need to be considered when a financial game plan is being created. If an advisor can’t empathize and understand client, all the financial knowledge in the world isn’t going to help that individual achieve their financial goals.

During her investment career, Courtney worked at Barclays, Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse and DLJ. She began her career at Wells Fargo in commercial and investment banking. She has served on the Alumni and Business Advisory Boards at La Salle University and as an advisor to the World Series of Entrepreneurship. Courtney currently serves on the Board of the Philadelphia Youth Organization and the Marian Anderson Recreation Center.
