Timothy Denton

Senior Managing Director

We’ve worked with each other for 7 years and your ability to develop relationships is one of the best I’ve seen.  When it comes time for delivering relevant professional advice to others: it’s such a tough balance in today’s environment to deliver constructive criticism that’s honest and straightforward while maintaining a good working relationship. Somehow you’ve struck the right chord because I see the inspiration that new advisors have after speaking with you and I also observe the respect that you command after working with established advisors…

Joy is passionate, competitive, goal oriented, a team player, and a proven leader with an impeccable track record.

Erika Bast

Design Director

It sometimes is a rarity in this world to meet people who work to build up those around them and CARE for them genuinely. Joy not only did that for me but instilled a sense of drive to work harder to not only challenge myself, but others around me to strive for better - and to be HAPPY while doing it! If you have the pleasure of working with or meeting Joy - know that you are in truly great company!

Nacole Light

Joy is a courageous leader who advocates with compassion for clients and colleagues. Her work ethic is unmatched. To say my work with Joy has been a privilege is an understatement. Her tenacity, coaching, and heart have led me on a path of ultimate impact. If you are fortunate enough to cross her path, I’d recommend asking her about her story, why she is relentless in pursuit of excellence, and what’s next. She won’t disappoint. She’s an incredible partner and crusader!

The first time I invited Joy to speak with my team I was hoping she would connect as an Alum with some helpful advice on growing as young adults. Joy delivered so much more than that. Since that day, Joy has returned many times and become an excellent source of inspiration for our players. She has a passion for mentoring young people and connects with them in an authentic way encouraging a positive mindset in the face of adversity. For Joy the bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity….

Joy is simply inspiring. I first saw her facilitate and the way she connected with her advisers made me want to be part of her team. She has a story that is meaningful and a process that is effective. She is truly an example of professionalism….

Kristin Dorm

When I think about Joy three words come to mind, passion , commitment and excellence. Joy is extremely passionate about our industry and she’s committed to excellence on every level. I have worked with Joy for a number of years and after each interaction I am left inspired to think differently. She is constantly refining her craft and challenging those around her to think bigger. I am incredibly grateful to work with Joy and to learn from her.

Graham McGee

Financial Analyst

Joy carries the rare combination of exceptional determination and personal skills. My biggest benefit from working for her is the chance to get a first-hand view of how motivating a team is more effective than delegating to a team. I think it is impressive how she has transferred her athletic success driven mindset into the workplace. She is a loyal teammate to everyone around her. Joy is an outstanding mentor to me, and I have done everything I can to learn from her leadership.

Caroline Morris

Vice President, Career Development Financial Partner

Joy has been a tremendous mentor for me in my leadership journey. She really has paved the way for not only her women advisors, but women in leadership roles in finance, who are even fewer and further between. I'm so very grateful that, even though she is across the country, she is a fellow MassMutual leader to whom I can reach out when I seek guidance and support. Joy's selfless desire to lend a hand is one of a kind and we are lucky to have her!
