Jacey's goal is to help you create change in the world by investing in companies that exemplify leadership in social and environmental responsibility. After a 15+ year career in Business Acquisitions, Development and Ownership within the Los Angeles based entertainment, retail and arts industries, Jacey left the "glitz and glam" of Hollywood so she could focus her energy on the health and healing of our planet.
Her belief is that everyone must make a financial commitment to invest in the companies that are doing good things for our planet and for humanity through sustainable, impact investments. She believes that we should be actively working towards forming a symbiotic relationship between philanthropy and prosperity by aligning our core values with the way we invest and grow wealth.

In 2017, Julie left the world of large investment firms to start Skye Advisors so she could focus her business solely on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.
On average, Julie has transformed her business every 4 years. As this industry and our society continually shift, she shifts along with them making the necessary changes to best serve her clients. Each time she looks at what her clients need — “where the puck was going, not where it had been” — and makes radical changes.
In 2020, Julie found herself shifting again to meet the new and evolving needs of her clients but instead of going it alone, Julie found five other colleagues from her First Affirmative community who were on the same path. From this Master Mind Group, Sustainable Advisors Alliance emerged.

Megan graduated in 2008, from the University of San Diego, with a BA in Interdisciplinary Humanities and a minor in Business Administration. She worked through high school and college at a law firm, then began her post-collegiate career in the art department for various television projects. Although she loved tapping into her creative side, she began to miss helping people in a one-on-one relationship. She moved from Los Angeles to New York and began her journey into the financial world. She began working at a firm that focused on tax and financial planning, then moved to Asbury Park, NJ to grow her practice by helping women feel financially secure by coaching them in financial literacy, optimizing their cashflow and protecting their assets so that they may blossom into the life they desire.
While living on Long Island, Megan had volunteered at the Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary, to provide these amazing animals with love and compassion directly. Now in New Jersey she has coordinated a local Women’s Rights March and is currently looking for a local farm sanctuary to volunteer with again.
