Today I\\u2019m excited to introduce you to Jania Stout, managing director of Fiduciary Plan Advisors at\\xa0HighTower. Jania\\u2019s been in the retirement plan business for 20 years, beginning on the provider side.

Although going out on her own to work in the advisory business was scary\\u2014especially during the 2008 financial crisis\\u2014Jania said it was the best decision to grow professionally.\\xa0 And her hard work in the industry hasn\\u2019t gone unnoticed\\u2014last year, Jania won NAPA\\u2019s 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award. In a world where women make up only 19 percent of senior level positions in financial services and 2 percent of CEO roles, Jania is a true inspiration for women wanting to pursue their passion and succeed at it!
