Newton, Massachusetts – (June 10, 2010) – Southworth Development’s Principal Partner Joseph Deitch has been named one of the 30 Most Influential People in the Financial Services Industry over the past 30 years by Investment Advisor Magazine.
Deitch, Founder and Chairman of Commonwealth Financial Network, the nation’s largest privately owned, independent broker/dealer firm with over $50 billion under management, is known throughout the industry as a leader in financial planning. In 2006, he joined as co-owner and visionary partner at Southworth Development. A close, long-time friend of David Southworth, Deitch has helped position the company to succeed in the dramatically changing world of real estate and resort development. His passion for Real Estate Development and his many talents have helped create an organization that’s unique in the real estate development world – a veritable “dream team” of professionals from many different disciplines — while his expertise has strengthened the Southworth company on many levels.
The “Thirty for Thirty” honor is presented by Investment Advisor to the 30 most influential individuals that have molded the financial planning profession over the last three decades. Deitch joins a distinguished list including Alan Greenspan, Charles Schwab, John Bogle, Steve Jobs and President Ronald Reagan.
Deitch humbly contributes his success to the vast talent and contributions of his staff and his partners, both at Commonwealth Financial and Southworth Development. “One of my greatest strengths is my knowledge of how limited I am,” he said to Investment Advisor. “So I’ve surrounded myself with talented people who speak their mind and their views.”
“Our team at Southworth is thrilled about Joe’s recent honor,” said David Southworth, President and CEO of Southworth Development. “When you are lucky enough to have the kind of energized setting we enjoy each day at Southworth, it becomes even more apparent how important it is to have a leader like Joe on our team.”
