LinePoint Partners & Co. Launches Family Office Firm with a Pioneering Affiliation Model for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Financial Advisors and Single Family Office Executives

Published

on

Led by family office veterans with a heritage of representing and managing multi-generational family enterprises, newly formed LinePoint offers breakaway financial advisors and single family office executives a sophisticated platform for independence and growth.

NEW YORK, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Robertino Coury, CEO, and Andrew Sternlight, President and CIO, today announced the launch of LinePoint Partners & Co. (LinePoint), a privately-held family office firm bringing together seasoned industry executives who have collectively advised on more than $3 billion in ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) client assets in their prior roles. At the core of LinePoint’s offering is a first-of-its-kind affiliation model that redefines how both breakaway financial advisors and single family office (SFO) executives can independently operate and grow their practices with a platform purpose-built to service them and the evolving needs of their ultra-wealthy clientele.

For financial advisors transitioning from wirehouses and private banks, LinePoint introduces a pioneering economic structure that allows them to retain up to 100% of their advisory fees, while maintaining full ownership of their client relationships and brand identity. For SFO executives looking to formalize or elevate the operations of their family office as a ‘trade or business,’ LinePoint provides a family office infrastructure designed to enhance the depth and breadth of their capabilities, improve tax efficiency, and generate significant cost savings—eliminating the need to build in-house systems from scratch.

“Too often, breakaway financial advisors lack clarity, transparency, and control over their economic arrangements—but we’re changing that,” said Robertino Coury, CEO of LinePoint. “LinePoint’s affiliation model puts advisors firmly in control—not just over their fee structures, but also over their revenue payouts—enabling them to take home up to 100% of their advisory fees. Moreover, our affiliating advisors now have the opportunity to control their enterprise value, leverage an authentic family office platform they can brand as their own, and gain access to an extensive suite of services and solutions—ensuring not only continuity in their client experience, but also growth. This is especially critical for UHNW advisors when navigating complex client challenges as they arise.”

Coury continued, “Surprisingly, no true affiliation model exists for single family offices and their key executives. We identified an unmet need and built a solution for them: a ready-to-use operating platform that streamlines day-to-day family office functions, enhances tax efficiency, and significantly reduces both startup and ongoing costs. The need for a true family office partner has never been greater. Families don’t build family offices because they want to; they do it because traditional wealth management falls short of their needs.”

LinePoint has cultivated an integrated network of strategic partners, introducing a co-sourcing model that blends in-house expertise with access to top-tier external talent and firms. By coordinating partnerships with leading institutions across domains such as investment advisory, private banking, custody, technology, trust services, and advanced planning, LinePoint enables its affiliates to deliver the scale, resources, and capabilities of established financial institutions without sacrificing independence, flexibility, or personalized client service.

Unlike traditional wealth management firms or multifamily offices, LinePoint is not in the business of directly servicing UHNW individuals and families. Instead, the company is solely focused on serving its affiliating advisors and SFO executives as its primary customers.

Andrew Sternlight, President and CIO at LinePoint, added, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring LinePoint to market at a time when the industry is fundamentally shifting. Family enterprises and top advisors need to deliver a higher quality offering—one that blends sophisticated solutions with deep family office experience and intellectual capital.”

LinePoint’s foundation is rooted in the legacy of Robert J. Coury, father of the company’s founders—Robertino Coury, Santino Coury, Andreo Coury, and Juliano Coury. Since 1984, Robert J. Coury has championed the principles of independence, establishing an advisory business that became a trusted financial and strategic partner to prominent families and founder-led businesses. His practice evolved into a premier multifamily office, helping families invest, grow, preserve, and protect significant wealth and business interests across generations.

In 2002, Robert J. Coury was tapped by one of his clients to serve as CEO of the publicly traded company Mylan Laboratories, Inc., now part of Viatris. Under his leadership, Mylan transformed from a leading U.S. generics manufacturer into a global pharmaceutical powerhouse, earning a place in both the S&P 500 and Fortune 500.

Today, more than 40 years later, Robert’s legacy lives on through LinePoint. The firm is led by CEO Robertino Coury, who previously served as President and CIO of an independent RIA and multifamily office advisory firm. Robertino also oversees E’O Management, the single family office he founded in 2016, which manages the assets of the Coury family and now extends opportunities to other families to invest alongside them through LinePoint’s co-invest platform.

Joining Robertino is Andrew Sternlight, whose distinguished career includes leadership roles as CEO and Co-CIO of a multibillion-dollar, fourth-generation single family office, as well as Chief of Staff to Ray Dalio, founder and CIO of Bridgewater Associates.

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Infrastructure is anchored by independent data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, Germany.

SUNMI Wins 2026 Red Dot Design Awards with Five Products, Leading Global Commercial Industrial Design

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
