What are your goals in your role at your company?
Just like every successful business employs a CFO, my goal is to assist our clients in running their personal finances like a business, by becoming their personal CFO and most trusted adviser. Additionally, I want to bring awareness to sustainable-responsible investing, and engage people and nonprofits in our community to align their investment with their values to enact positive change and have a potentially huge impact on our community, planet and its inhabitants.
What’s your biggest passion, and why?
Our oceans are my biggest passion. I’m happiest when I’m sailing, scuba diving or free diving, and feel truly at home when I’m in and around the water. Unfortunately, the current environmental state is causing coral reefs to diminish at rapid speeds. Part of my goal with sustainable-responsible investing is to encourage large corporations to make positive environmental changes for our planet and our oceans.
