Jul. 21, 2025 / PRZen / JUPITER, Fla. — A recent article published by Impact Wealth Magazine highlights a significant paradigm shift within the financial services industry: wellness is no longer a mere perk but has become the “ultimate strategic asset” and a new competitive edge for firms. This trend underscores a growing recognition that private client wellness is intrinsically linked to sustained success and influence, driving a new era of private client services.
Further validating this monumental shift, Citadel, a top hedge fund, recently announced the appointment of Dr. David Stark as its Chief Medical Officer. This strategic move, as reported by Business Insider, emphasizes Citadel CEO Ken Griffin’s advocacy for optimal performance, recognizing that physical and mental wellness are foundational to achieving peak performance. Notably, Dr. Stark previously served as the Chief Medical Officer at Morgan Stanley, which was among the early adopters and the first bulge bracket bank to make CourMed’s amenity available to its private clients. This demonstrates a clear progression from bulge bracket banks pioneering integrated wellness to a top hedge fund now joining this movement, further underscoring the established and growing importance of preventative health within elite financial circles. Citadel views this hiring as a strategic move to bolster its position in the competition for top talent within the industry. An internal memo suggests that this initiative not only supports health and wellness but also positions Citadel as a premier workplace for high-performing individuals.
“This insightful analysis from Impact Wealth Magazine, coupled with Citadel’s strategic appointment of Dr. Stark, perfectly articulates a trend CourMed has long championed and built its foundation upon,” said O. Raven JD/MHSA, SVP of Exclusive Memberships of CourMed. “For years, we’ve observed that our private clients view their health as their most valuable capital. Financial firms are now recognizing that by prioritizing and facilitating access to premium, personalized wellness experiences, they’re not just offering an amenity; they are actively expanding the ‘healthy zone’ for their clients, focusing on preventative care and optimal performance rather than merely providing options when people get sick. This is an investment in the core stability and longevity of their client relationships.”
CourMed, a leader in delivering private client wellness solutions to bulge bracket banks, family offices and affluent communities, is uniquely positioned at the forefront of this evolution. By providing seamless access to high-quality, personalized services, CourMed enables financial services to enhance their value proposition and deepen client loyalty in a highly competitive market.
“The future of private client services lies in a truly holistic approach where financial acumen meets comprehensive wellness,” added O. Raven. “We are proud to be a key partner in this transformation, helping firms empower their clients to achieve not just financial prosperity, but also optimal health and a vibrant life.”

The SaaS platform streamlines risk assessment, data collection, and submissions for companies navigating EUDR compliance
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / Source Intelligence has launched its EUDR solution to help companies simplify deforestation risk management and automate compliance workflows ahead of upcoming enforcement deadlines. Purpose-built for the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the SaaS-based solution enables businesses to streamline supply chain traceability, risk assessment, and due diligence reporting. As companies prepare for the regulation’s requirements, failure to comply could result in fines of up to 4% of annual turnover, making early action essential.
Source Intelligence Logo Source Intelligence’s logo and “Trust your source” tagline
Source Intelligence’s solution enables companies to implement an end-to-end EUDR due diligence workflow, from tracing product origins and validating supplier data to identifying deforestation risk and submitting due diligence statements. A direct integration with the EU TRACES platform allows Source Intelligence to submit statements on behalf of clients as an authorized representative, helping companies streamline final reporting requirements.
With Source Intelligence’s EUDR solution, companies can:
Enhance supply chain visibility by mapping sub-tier relationships and tracking sourcing activity in real time
Identify deforestation risks faster using Article 9-aligned scoring and multi-source environmental datasets
Improve efficiency through automation and a direct connection to EU TRACES
Reduce compliance risk by proactively flagging high-risk suppliers and sourcing areas using satellite imagery and customizable risk models
The platform’s satellite-powered deforestation detection tools assess land use change with precision and provide actionable insights for risk mitigation. These capabilities are bolstered by real-time data validation, customizable risk assessments, and centralized documentation-all designed to help companies operationalize the three-step due diligence process outlined by the European Commission.
“The EUDR requires companies to reach deeper into their supply chains, gather more specific data, and act on risk with greater speed,” said Mike Flynn, Chief Product Officer at Source Intelligence. “Our solution is designed to make that process manageable-combining automation, advanced risk screening, and satellite monitoring to help businesses take control of their due diligence obligations before enforcement begins.”
While the EUDR is already in force, operators and traders must fully implement the required due diligence process by December 30, 2025. Micro and small enterprises have until June 30, 2026. With deadlines fast approaching, Source Intelligence offers a streamlined path to readiness. Interested organizations are invited to schedule a demo and experience the advanced EUDR solution firsthand.

SMX gains national spotlight as key player in securing defense supply chains – media recognition signals growing market relevance
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / A recent editorial highlighting SMX’s (Security Matters) Ltd. (NASDAQ:SMX) pivotal role in securing U.S. hardware supply chains has been featured in BizPac Review, a widely read national news outlet with a strong digital presence across the country. The article, titled “The Hidden Risk in U.S. Defense Isn’t the Enemy-It’s the Supply Chain. SMX Can Help,” explores the invisible but urgent vulnerabilities that exist not on the battlefield, but in the very materials and components that fuel America’s defense infrastructure.
The piece brings into focus a truth many overlook: adversaries don’t need to breach a firewall or cross a border if they can compromise the integrity of materials long before they reach assembly. Appropriately, the article identifies SMX as the solution, which offers a material-level authentication technology that tracks and verifies components at the molecular level, from origin to deployment.
This national exposure is an encouraging sign that both the media and the broader public are beginning to recognize what SMX insiders have long known: the battlefield of the future is being fought in factories, warehouses, and distribution channels-and victory depends on traceability, transparency, and trust.
We’re thrilled to see the conversation expanding. For SMX, this is more than a media win. It’s a validation of our mission and a signal that our work is striking the right nerve in the national interest.
About SMX (Security Matters) Public Limited Company As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

“The Block Party is one of our favorite days of the year,” added Josh Hart. “There’s no better way to kick off the season than being out in the city with the fans. We’ve got big energy going into this year, and this is just the start.”
While fans may know Brunson and Hart as Knicks teammates, their bond was born in a shared dorm room at Villanova University. A love of basketball – and the comedy classic Step Brothers – led to a friendship that’s now at the center of one of sports media’s most entertaining podcasts.
