WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With Intelligence Private Asset Management magazine (PAM) recently announced Mack International as a shortlist nominee for two prestigious 2024 PAM Awards: “Best Business Consulting Firm for Family Offices” and “Leading Women’s Advocate in Wealth Management.” For over two decades, these Awards have provided a platform for the “best of the best” in the industry. These honors are highly sought after by top investment professionals, wealth advisors, legal firms, consultants, and other key service providers operating within the private wealth management space, to showcase the incredible work they have accomplished.

The judging process uses an independent panel of industry experts who base their decisions on a mixture of qualitative and quantitative performance indicators to select the finalists.

This is the 13th consecutive selection of Mack International on the shortlist in the category of Best Business Consulting Firm for Family Offices—an award Mack International has won several times in the past. This year, Mack is one of three firms shortlisted for Best Consulting Firm. This award recognizes consultants serving ultra-high net worth and family office businesses that have demonstrated outstanding insight and support. Success in this category depends on a mixture of  customer and revenue growth, service innovations and market leadership, and client testimonials. Linda emphasized what a privilege it is to be part of the PAM award shortlist. “We are honored to be among such esteemed colleagues in the industry and recognized for sharing our insights and ideas as consultants. It gives us great confidence that our efforts are aligned with best-in-class providers.”

We help our clients execute their strategic vision by delivering exceptional counsel regarding their human capital needs. To us, a “search” is an intimate consulting relationship, not a transaction,” said Linda. “Our consulting goes beyond the “search” to include strategic planning, organization design/structure, succession, governance, onboarding, performance management, executive compensation, and retention strategies for C-suite executives.”

“Leading Woman’s Advocate” is a category that Linda Mack was awarded in 2022, and this year she has again been shortlisted as an individual finalist for 2024. She is one of four nominees. The award recognizes individuals in the industry who are an inspiration to both female clients and colleagues who have done the most to further the interests and participation of women in the in the wealth management industry. The judges evaluate evidence of support for gender balance in senior leadership positions and proactive efforts including mentorship to combat gender bias in the workplace. Testimonials are part of the key criteria. “Mentoring women who are starting or continuing to build their own businesses as well as those aspiring to leadership roles within the family office and wealth and investment management businesses, is a priority for me,” said Linda. “I remember the challenges I faced in starting my own business. I am happy to help pave the way for other women and pay it forward. Being nominated in this category is truly special.”

This year’s spectacular black-tie gala dinner and ceremony celebrating the top-performing elite of the private wealth community will take place on February 5 at the iconic Guastavino’s in New York City.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.
