About Angela York:

Angela York grew up in Hollywood, CA, surrounded by the TV industry. Inspired by her parents who worked in television, she initially envisioned a career in TV production. However, her journey took a different path. After college, she began her marketing career at an advertising agency in Orange County. Soon after, she transitioned to an in-house role at an advisory firm, leading their marketing department. This experience set the foundation for her career in marketing and event planning.

This venture allowed her to collaborate with wealth managers and financial services firms across California and the Pacific West, honing her skills and deepening her understanding of the financial advisory space.

The global pandemic in 2020 brought new challenges and opportunities. In 2021, Angela co-founded Event Advisors with her partner Elyse Stoner.
