Beyond the Chair with Banríon

We’re back with another installment of our Beyond the Chair series—spotlighting past founders from The Founder’s Chair and the momentum they’ve built since stepping off stage. These conversations dive deeper into what’s changed, what’s grown, and what’s just getting started.

Next up: Banríon Capital Management, a woman-led firm on a mission to make alternative investments more accessible, transparent, and understandable.

Since her time with us, Founder & CEO Shana Orczyk Sissel—known across the industry as “The Queen of Alternatives”—has continued to push the boundaries of what modern wealth management can look like. Banríon Capital is not just advising; they’re educating the industry, building tools to help advisors unlock the potential of alternatives in client portfolios, and challenging the status quo with a focus on authenticity, inclusion, and clarity.

With strategic partnerships forming and their platform gaining momentum, Banríon is proving that personalized, education-first investing is more than a trend—it’s the future.
