Her career has provided her with a front-row seat to the evolution of marketing within the financial services industry—from the rise of digital platforms to the increasing demand for personalized, high-touch client experiences. Throughout this journey, Sloane has developed a deep understanding of effective financial marketing strategies, what works, what doesn’t, and which approaches consistently stand the test of time in helping financial businesses grow and thrive.

In addition to her work in financial services, Sloane built a successful career in interior design and home staging. She founded Times Ten Design in 2020 and has been featured on HGTV and in the Colorado Springs Business Journal for multiple projects. Sloane has been instrumental in launching and scaling multiple financial services firms, including Accelerated Wealth and Blackheath Partners, where she helped architect brand strategy, go-to-market execution, and long-term growth frameworks.

Bill Walton is a globally recognized leader in strategic wealth consulting, personal transformation, and Kingdom entrepreneurship. As the founder, CEO, and partner in over 25 diverse businesses, Bill has guided financial firms to unprecedented growth—managing and advising on billions in assets, businesses, and real estate across the globe.
